If your pet has been diagnosed or is being treated for dehydration, a metabolic disorder, or other medical condition that requires fluid and electrolyte supplementation, your veterinarian may prescribe at-home fluid injection. Consult with your veterinarian about the proper administration and use for your pet.

Directions for use of plastic container

To Open

Tear overwrap down side at slit and remove solution bag. Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually. Check for minute leaks by squeezing inner bag firmly. If leaks are found, discard solution as sterility may be impaired.

If supplemental medication is desired, follow directions below.

Preparation for Administration

  1. Suspend container from eyelet support.
  2. Remove protector from outlet port at bottom of container.
  3. Attach administration set. Refer to complete directions accompanying set.

To add medication before solution administration

  1. Prepare medication site.
  2. Using syringe with 19 to 22 gauge needle, puncture resealable medication port and inject.
  3. Mix solution and medication thoroughly. For high density medication such aspotassium chloride, squeeze ports while ports are uprightand mix thoroughly.

To add medication during solution administration

  1. Close clamp on the administration set to stop the flow to the patient.
  2. Prepare medication site.
  3. Using syringe with 19 to 22 gauge needle, puncture resealable medication port and inject.
  4. Remove container from IV pole and/or turn to an upright position.
  5. Evacuate both ports by squeezing them while container is in the upright position.
