Hi all,
Have a question. Boo had his adrenal surgery past september 2004. I know some are familiar with his background as I had a lot of help from people in here. He was also dx with kidney disease. My vet started me on 30cc's lactaded ringers daily. I was wondering if regular sodium chloride IV bags would also be sufficient to use instead of the Ringers? IS there something more in the Ringers? If you don't advise the change, please let me know. I have harder time accessing the Ringers. But will keep getting if it's necessary. I have a call already in to my vet, but thought I'd ask here, too. THanks so much!
Terra.. and Boo!
