I know, I said the same thing but, after a few tries, I mastered it and now I do it w/out even thinking about it. It can be expensive if you have to take Ash to the vet for them because, given that he has only 25% kidney function, he may need them quite often. Puddy needed them twice a day in the beginning, then daily, now she's on them every other day. My vet was charging $10 a visit and that was cheap. My other vet, a specialist, would've charged a lot more. This way, I pay $10 a bag, plus the cost of lines and needles, and the bag lasts for 6 treatments. It definitely saves money. Talk to your vet and see what s/he says and I'm sure s/he'll be happy to show you how to do it. Have no fear. It's easy.
