PATCHES UPDATE - THROWING UP WHEN I START FLUIDS???

[ceil99]

OK, need help.

Why is Patches throwing up whenever I start her fluids? She has done this the past 3 times I have given it to her. I don't know if I am doing something wrong.

She is getting Cerenia daily, but from now on, I will give her the fluids in the evening AFTER the cerenia. I just want to know if anyone has experienced this and what could be causing this!!!

Do you warm the fluids first?

Do you move the needle once it's in?

What specific fluids are you giving?
LRS (Lactated Ringers Solution)?

Do you warm the fluids first?

Perhaps stress? My civvie shivers from when I get the fluids pulled out of the place I store them (even before any fluids are near him, so not from them being cold) until we're done. Shenandoah, on the other hand, barely seems to even notice it.

Do you do what you can to make it as pleasant as possible? Give a treat, give scratches, whatever she enjoys?
I think some cats just take to them better than others.

I think it is wise to try giving them after the cerenia is working.... I also wondered about it being stress. I sing to Dre
