I know this is a dog-sitting/walking site but wondering if you could connect me with someone who has experience administering sub-q fluids to a cat? (Just not very good at it myself.) Thanks.
You shoudl contact a vet as any info you gather here may not truly be helpful
I adopted a 15-yr-old cat with kidney disease and gave her sub-q every other day, then daily. She lived to be 21. She was small and accustomed to it, so it was not difficult compared to, say, pilling a cat. I'm not sure how much harder it would be with a young cat who thrashes around but there's always the "kitty burrito". I'm also a cat sitter. I care for a diabetic cat, and a 22-yr-old who takes thyroid meds, among others.
There are some sitters that are also techs like me. I'm a RVT which stands for Registered Veterinary Technician. I am state board licensed in California. I have administered SQ fluids to cats through Rover. You would just need to look for someone that states in there profile that they have a background in Veterinary medicine.
As a veterinarian I am comfortable doing this! I can even teach you!
