#subcutaneousfluids

cw: needle, blood 🏥 i knew it would happen eventually, grateful it was a year into treating Čhočhó and 14 months into my lifetime sub-q administration career 💉 i gave Čhočhó the last 125 mL in a liter bag, and a bit of blood backed up into the line 🩸 it's harmless, common, and frankly shocking it hasn't happen before now 🧛🏼‍♀️ yet i was startled and it took me five seconds too long to realize what i was seeing was no big deal 😻 aging cats aren't for the faint of heart ❤️ give me strength 💪🏼 #picoftheday #picaday2020 #subcutaneousfluids #lactatedringerssolution #subq #kidneycat #felineckd #geriatriccat (at Yachats, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGO08bbB2Pm/?igshid=1rmtgulvu6018

These days were an emotional rollercoaster. My parents' 17 y.o. cat isn't doing well - he wasn't eating or drinking and his jaw started to swell while he lost weight. We prepared ourselves to say goodbye.⠀ This afternoon we took him to the vet who gave us options for him to have another chance.⠀ So now he's back home, with a hump of subcutaneous fluids on his back. 🐪⠀ Karel, I ❣️you. You're worth every tear I shed these past days.⠀ .⠀ ▪️⠀ ▪️⠀ ▪️⠀ .⠀ #pencildrawing #catsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #catandsketch #astronautfood #subcutaneousfluids #veterenarian #camel
