I still dont know how to give sublingual , this demo was oral , not sublingual. Where is the cheek pouch , how can I control the drips , when I press the syringe , too much goes in and she swallows , nullifying the medicine
Just lining up to do the first time on my girl cassie. She doesn't have a very good scruff - not unusual to get a bent needle on insulin injection. So I'll be doing it lower down her back. Dreading it, but she needs it so it's a case of 'feel the fear but do it anyway'. She's the only thing keeping me going at mo as recently lost my husband and am struggling.
My cat just use this in aug 2024. However there is an error on both sensors. Important to pets owner Abbott will not provide replacement if it is used on pets.
Do not use on pets. The sensor is simply of extremely low quality, mine stopped working after less than 24 hours of use. Support informed that because it is for animal use, it is not covered by warranty. Money thrown in the trash.
Hello. Such a handsome cat. What breed is he? You are so relaxed and skilled at doing this. My cat was just diagnosed with CKD. So I’ve just started giving subcutaneous injections at home. What I have found difficult is pushing the needle all the way into my cat’s skin. I’m not sure if my technique is correct or not, but when I try pushing the needle in it seems like it is not piercing the skin as easily as I expected. So I have made some failed attempts, then gave up.I need to go back to my vet to find out what I’m doing wrong.
Thank you. your video was great and to the point. I started to remove a fentanyl patch from my dog and I stopped when I realized this was gonna hurt him. I will try the baby oil. The 2 minute, 18 second ad for the Farmer's Dog I was forced to watch by RU-vid so I could watch your 1 minute, 51 second video was obnoxious. I know that's not your fault.
Thank you very much! My cat just got diagnosed with CKD after going through 2 weeks with FLUTD. My cat's doctor advised me to give liquid treatment through sc once every 2 days. This guide really helped me and my cat! I can't thank you enough!! I used iv cath G26 to admit the liquid, because my cat moved so much I'm afraid the needle will change position😂😅
I just adopted a 10 month old kitten. Her breathing seems very fast and irregular when she's not resting, especially when she's purring... Her whole body seems to slightly vibrate with her breath very fast with the purring. It's not due to stress, these are times when she seems very affectionate. At rest, the count is normal. Should I be concerned? I just went through a horrible time with my last kitty as she was sick for many months and this kitty was supposed to help me heal. I can't adopt a sick kitty (even though I'm falling in love already!). Thanks.
Forgive my American English: If there's no fluid in the drip chamber after connecting the tubing to the bag and closing the clamp "roller ball" then squeeze the drip chamber until it is about half full. Having sufficient fluid in the drip chamber allows you to see the drips. RN/Paramedic
My cat was given the kitty magic sedation at an urgent care vet and they couldnt complete her exam and said she was still "very much awake and aggressive" even after sedation. Why didnt they give her more? The notes say "patient was given .11 ml of each of the following meds mixed together IM, ketamine, butorphanol, dexmedetomidine." It is unclear to me if that means .11 ml altogether or .11 ml of each drug. In the past, other vets used an isoflurane box chamber to sedate her for exam. I stopped going to that vet after reading about how stressful and dangerous those are. But will kitty magic not work for my cat or did this vet just not use enough? Please reply. We got no answers and need to go to another vet.
1:22 pm PST. Great, informative video! Thank you for making this.. I have an 11 wk. old Yorky puppy born with ME. She is doing very well with small vertical feedings (also giving her water) multiple times a day. Keeping her upright for a minimum of 15 minutes after feeding really seems to do the trick. The one time I got in a hurry (by only a few minutes!!) led to a very costly and frightening emergency trip to her vet. So this is my own experience so far with dealing with this disorder. Vertical feedings and keep upright for however long it takes for your dog to empty his/her esophagus. Sending you and your pup lots of love and patience for your journey together ahead.
In the past a diff. vet gave me extra of mirtazapine so I'd have it...this new vet wants me to jump thru all these hoops.....my cat is 15 and isn't eating well....part of the issue I believe is acid stomach ....but is there at OTC pill to give that stimulates appetite? I'm a senior and on a fixed income and whatever I planned for yrs ago...the economy is 'eating' up! who knew? who could have planned....anyway, anything OTC available. The current vet gave me that 'cream' NOT cost effective for me....for starters....at 15 I want my cat comfortable.....thanks
Hilarious, in these insulin demos, the demonstrator says give you cat a treat when done... None of the cats are interested or asking for a treat❗❣️❗🤣😂😅 Helpful video in showing keep insulin pen depressed & in place, to prevent insulin from leaking out of cat❗❣️❗🙋♀️💕😺💕🙏
I am grieving immensely ❤ love Ben he pass away while I was on vacation......l had a friend looking after him. This is very painful. I had Ben 17 years.
Believe it or not it can be done by using very small cup, similar to what some places offer condiments in, or very small plastic cup, about 2" tall. My cat's litter box is in bathroom a few feet ahead of my toilet. As my cat headed to the bathroom I grabbed the cup and sat on toilet watched my cat move around and finally got into position to urinate. My cat's back was towards Mr he positioned himself with hovering slightly with his rear a few inches above the litter, without him noticing me I slipped cup and caught his urine stream with no problem. Sample was then drawn into a syringe, placed in plastic bag and transported sample in cooler to keep chilled, worked great and I know I can do it again...Bob.
Excellent video! I give my boy fluids every 3 days and he does very well with it. What I’m finding I’m having trouble w/ is the fluid leaking out after giving it to him. I try holding my finger on the injection site but sometimes it doesn’t work. Is there a better technique? How do you keep the fluids from leaking out?
I am just learning this process myself, and have not yet attempted it, but I found a video that may help solve your problem. Apparently it helps to pinch the cat’s skin at the injection site for about 30 seconds after removing the needle. Hope this helps. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y59QwigOF6Y.html&pp=ygUhZ2l2aW5nIGEgY2F0IHN1YmN1dGFuZW91cyBmbHVpZHMg
Do you perhaps have a video of a flush being done that one can share with a vet? We recently moved to Malta, but it seems no one on the island has ever done a flush before. I'm sharing the how-to off the manufacturer page with them but would like to also give them a video in hopes that someone will be able to learn, and assist.
Try not to intervene too much but make sure they don't hurt themselves on nearby objects, Comfort and be there for the cat afterwards, Medication is available. Got it thank you, I'm going to be owning two cats at some point in my life and I want to be sure I know what to do in these situations. 💖🐈
