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).
In severe cases, blood transfusions may be necessary. In cats with fatty liver disease (hepatic lipidosis), force feeding is often necessary, and sometimes even surgically placing a feeding tube. For pets with a portosystemic shunt, surgery is often required.
