That looks better.

That sounds good I will tonight. How much do you recommend giving her? And should I stop the tube feeding or how much should I administer that way? Also I've called around all day and cannot find any iv fluids do you think the directions on this would work?

Yeah, not sure I would give those. Will your vet sell you a bag of them? Or can you get a doctor friend to call in a script to a hospital?

I found somewhere to get ringers lactate! I think I'm still going to do the subq injection because even though it does look better she seems to be getting worse. What do you think?

How much should I administer it's sodium chloride .9%? And how many mls should I be tubing her if h2o and kaytee exact?

If she were mine I would give 200 ml subcutaneously and I would give 60-90 ml of fluids orally.

Make that oral fluids Pedialyte if you can.
