My little Maggie Bear!!

Happy Birthday!
As for the SQ fluids.... usually it's a matter of how much gets in how fast. Sometimes their little hearts can't deal with the excess all at once. Also, the skin itself taking on huge amounts underneath can be a problem, but rarely.

I don't remember how much Maggie (aka "tough as nails" ) weighs, but if she's 15-20 lb, she can have 200 at once without too much trouble. I might spread it between two different sites to lessen the stress under the skin. Lisa's idea of trying 150 first is good.

I'm so glad she's doing this well.
Enjoy!

Maggie was 14-15 lbs when she was at the vets last. I will see what our options are.

The Doc did mention her heart is under stress, he noted a new heart mumur and what he believes is congestive heart failure. Still for a dog that he said had a week or month we are nearing 8 weeks from first episode and two weeks from last, what a trooper! Having her still hanging around and yapping this morning (she has become vocal when hungry) was a great present.

Schnauzers are quite tenacious you know. She reminds us all that every day is a gift.

Belated happy birthday to you Amanda.

I am off to work shortly and reading about Little Maggie Bear still hanging in there has put a big smile on my face.

Super big hugs to Little Maggie Bear.
