To effectively give a cat subcutaneous fluids, follow these steps:
- Gather necessary supplies: fluid bag, needle, and tubing.
- Warm the fluids to room temperature.
- Hold the cat securely and locate a skin fold on the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades.
- Insert the needle under the skin fold at a 45-degree angle.
- Slowly administer the fluids, monitoring for any signs of discomfort or swelling.
- Once the fluids are administered, remove the needle and dispose of it properly.
- Comfort and reward the cat for their cooperation.
