OK. I think I've screwed up. The IV line won't flow.
See attachment. I squeezed that little thing (whatever you call it) just to see what would happen. Now it's full of fluid and it won't flow down the line. What do I do?
I'm Canadian......eh?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

I had this exact same thing happen to me with Taz's fluids. Here's what I did. I turned the bag upside down and squeezed some of the fluid back into the bag.Originally Posted by slick

Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

OMG Taz. You are a lifesaver. Thank you, that worked. I'd love to speak to you someday. PM me with your phone number if you want to touch base.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm giving him enough fluids but I'm doing my best.
Last night was a rough one. He was extra hungry so I opened up a second small can of fancy feast (only chicken and liver flavour will do, thank you very much). About 20 min after eating I noticed that he was scooting and trying to have a BM - he looked constipated. Finally he let loose right by the front door. I cleaned him and the floor up, then he proceeded to throw up about 4 times. He completely emptied his tummy, then he just laid around. I finally went to bed around midnight but was up every couple of hours checking on him.
This morning he was meowing at me then crawled up on the dining room chair and that's where I left him. I'm at work right now.
I feel sick to my stomach. As hard as this is, I've got to persevere.

I am in tears for you. I know too well how you are feeling right now. While Taz didn't throw up, he wasn't eating anything but a teeny bit of tuna I'd give him after meds.
Are you giving him fluids every day? If not, maybe you could start. That's what the vet suggested to me but then I made the other choice.
Hugs going out to you.
