My cat Cybil is 18 and has kidney failure. We are attempting to keep her comfortable for her remaining days and she is going to require IV fluids as her sodium levels are through the roof (the vet doesn't understand how she is still here with the levels so high) and is very dehydrated.
I have an appointment this morning and they are going to attempt to show me how to do it at home. Apparently, this is not an uncommon thing. I did a search online and it seems a little scary. Of course, I will wait to see how the appointment goes.
I am wondering if anyone here has ever administered IV fluids to a furbaby at home.
The good news is, she is alert, eating, using the litter box, and really does not seem ill. She is just extremely thin and frail.
