Sub q fluids help

My civvie cat needs fluids tonight. I have no line. How can I do this without a line? I didn't realize i didn't have one and the vet has closed. Help!!

Is there an emergency vet in your area? You may be able to buy one from them. Otherwise you may need to wait until tomorrow to get one from your vet.

There is but they have none and wouldn't sell me one if they did. I asked.

Do you happen to have needles (the ones you use with the subQ line) and a 60cc syringe?

Nope....but i have 3cc syringes. We filled 33 of them, put the needle in and just switched out syringes. So far we have 60 ml in her.
