I'm so glad to read that others have had problems w/administering the subQ fluids, too. Even Dr. LeBeau told me that it happened to him more times than he can remember, that the cats even jumped off the table sometimes. Dr. Lee was encouraging, too, and told me that I'm doing a good job, that I can't hurt her and to just toughen up and do it. So I'm taking everyone's advice.

When I read that Fluffy sliced your hand open...what I didn't mention was that I stuck myself w/the needle and I mean hard! My finger is black and blue and quite swollen. And when I felt that pain, I thought "Oh God, this is how Puddy must feel." But, as I've said before, if it gets to the point where I see it isn't helping her, I'll know what I have to do. But right now, I have my little girlie girl and she seems to be content, so I'm counting my blessings, of which all of my Pet Talk friends are a MAJOR part.

Blessings,
M
