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).
Try not to exceed 100 milliliters per site unless directed by your veterinarian. If your pet needs 200 mls of fluid every 3 days, you should give 100 mls in one area, remove the needle and place the needle a little further down on the back and give the second dose of 100 mls. If the skin becomes tight, stop giving fluids in that area.
