Tube feeding is probably the best in this case, but, as you said, must be done correctly. The eyedropper can be used and an inexperienced person may be better able to do that. |
I suppose every vet would recommend various types of Sub-Q products. I usually contact my vet and he contacts my med provider. Now one time I obtained a solution without my contacting my vet and was able to obtain Seperate containers of Dextrose and Saline Solution.....It required some calculating....and I'm no good at that when I'm under the gun.....so, now I just ask my vet to prescribe the pre-measured solution.....much easier that way.
