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).
Hypotonic fluids have a lower salt concentration, whereas hypertonic fluids have a higher salt concentration. When giving sub-Q fluids, you usually use isotonic fluids. There are a variety of fluid types available, but the fluid that is most commonly used for CKD cats is Lactated Ringers Solution (LRS).luids containing dextrose also have a shorter life than non-dextrose fluids. If your vet gives you this fluid (it may be a bag of LRS to which 2.5% or 5% dextrose has been added, so always check bags carefully before using them), ask to exchange it for a more suitable type.
