Bailey was just back in the ER two nights ago because he had a flare of his pancreatits. They treated him with subq fluids and an rx for pepcid. The subq fluids seem to always work and $204 later.... Is this something I should keep on hand for him if it's only $20???? thoughts

When looking online, I found that while one site had the needles, they would require an rx for the drip set or the other way around. Your vet would be the best place for this. They can sell you everything you need for under $20. We use Normasol-R to prevent and treat dehydration.
