To effectively give a cat subcutaneous fluids, follow these steps:

  1. Gather necessary supplies: fluid bag, needle, and tubing.
  2. Warm the fluids to room temperature.
  3. Hold the cat securely and locate a skin fold on the back of the neck or between the shoulder blades.
  4. Insert the needle under the skin fold at a 45-degree angle.
