Hello all,
Our cat has been prescribed 250ml of lactated ringers a day. Seems like a lot of fluid based on what I have read, but I'm no expert.
Today was day two of giving the fluid and it went a lot better than yesterday. The thing I'm worried about is all the fluid goes directly to her right front leg. Vet said to keep massaging the area throughout the day to help disperse the fluid.
Is there a way to alternate each day to help the fluid go to the other leg? She is small and I think 250ml is to much for her at one time. I'm afraid to insert the needle to far from where I was instructed in fear of hitting the wrong area.
I've read a few online articles but they mainly were instructions, I'm looking for personal experiences. Thanks so much
BTW, for the few that read my "Something is not right" thread, Our cat is seeing a specialist on Monday.
