Did your vet have you do this in the office yourself? and yes the cats will not like it first and sometimes I did stick Smudge a bit...when you are doing it daily you have to make sure not to do the same spot....but be nice to yourself...it may stick for a few seconds but the cat will learn eventually, they feel better afterwards.<br /><br />I do know warming up the fluids helps a lot (I think I mentioned that can take 30 minutes or more w new bag) and I test a drop on my wrist. and the warm pillows and blankets...and under a warm light if possible.<br /><br />You are learning to do a great thing....as you get confidence you will relax and so will your cat . . I hope. Best to you.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513362969807504798.post-88350124327600772662013-11-18T02:19:55.450-05:002013-11-18T02:19:55.450-05:00Thank you for sharing how you administered SQ flui...Thank you for sharing how you administered SQ fluids to your furry friend. Feeling discouraged tonight as my furry friend 'Samantha' fought and succeeded in not letting me give her fluids tonight. So I gave up :( .. think I will try your method with the clothes basket and warming the fluid a bit more. My kitty reacted every time I tried to put the needle in .. like I was hurting her more or something ... she'd jerk & the needle jabbed her a few times... this is stressful.

As I said in the post, this has become a real bonding experience for a cat who never really liked me except when she wanted to be brushed while EATING (Another Diva tactic!)<br /><br />Now, she actually sometimes purrs during her infusion. <br /><br />((Hugs))Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513362969807504798.post-67194715744515720932012-10-11T12:01:42.216-04:002012-10-11T12:01:42.216-04:00great post for people who might experience this wi...great post for people who might experience this with their fur babies.<br /><br />smudge is beyond blessed to have both you and c as guardian angels in her life. despite her diagnosis, she seems so peaceful and content in the pictures.<br /><br />her gratitude for your kindness isn't going unnoticed or unappreciated. <br /><br />you can tell she loves you dearly.<br /><br />praying for complete healing for smudge, and for peace for you and c during this difficult time.<br /><br />((HUGS))maureenhttp://beautifullyflaweddivinelychosen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
