Sub q fluids dose for a possible ap?

[Shammie]

This little girl that recently came to me developed an aspiration pneumonia. I started her on Baytril yesterday but She is not doing so well and started not eating today. Very dehydrated, project. Should I try giving her Sub-Q fluids if so how much should I give her? She weighs about 95 grams.

I believe it would be the same amount if I were to give it By mouth, 5% of body weight?

I’m sorry your thread didn’t get any response. How’s your girl doing? I’m not sure of the exact amount for sub Qing but I do remember that when the vet or other rehabbers suggested doing it, it was a lot more fluid than I had anticipated.

Do you still need help with this?
