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.

I agree with Ellie, should not be given, also could cause necrosis of the tissue, (dying of the tissue). Best to speak with your vet.
