I was giving Erin kitty subQ fluids for a while, 100 cc daily. People gave me a funny looks when they saw the IV bag hanging on the kitchen wall. For the most part it isn't that difficult - all things considered. Only once did I have to bundle kitty, IV bag stuff and head back to the Vet for help. They had told me that if I ever had trouble to come in and the techs would help me. As I recall, one of Erin's Vets checked in when they found out we were there, and I wasn't charged for the visit. The cost of the IV bag and needles is pretty minimal.
Glad to hear Maggie is doing better. Maybe eating sloppy wet food will get enough fluids in her.
