I am an RN and just to clarify a bit - the needle used to give the fluids is not an IV - (which means intrav-venous) but simpby Sub-Q or subcutaneous and the needle goes just under the skin and most folks say that the kitty does not even feel it - but what they object to is having to hold still for the 20-30 minutes it might take to receive the fluids

Hugs to Buddy and Bandit and the many kitties who are receiving loving care from Meowmies!!
