Subcutaneous fluids may be given as often as is needed, but for most cats that require fluid supplementation, SQ. fluids are most often provided between once a week and once a day (with 2-3 times weekly being most common).
Intravenous fluids are administered through thin, flexible plastic tubing called an infusion set or primary infusion tubing/administration set (Perry et al., 2014). The infusion tubing/administration set connects to the bag of IV solution. Primary IV tubing is either a macro-drip solution administration set that delivers 10, 15, or 20 gtts/ml, or a micro-drip set that delivers 60 drops/ml. Macro-drip sets are used for routine primary infusions.
