Kim, I am so sorry about Lucy, prayers for the sweet girl and thank God you found her and she has a good home now.    
I am currently helping my neighbor treat her Min Pin with Sub- q fluids twice a week.    Ray, the Min Pin is an older guy, 13 years old who is blind and may have some dementia.   When I was watching him this summer he stopped eating so I took him to the vet, we found out from test that  Ray's kidneys are only functioning at 25%.       
His Mom decided to treat it with the fluids, it is not so bad treating Ray but it takes two people (one to hold him and the needle and one to squeeze the bag, we are not very good nurses).     
I will keep Lucy and you in my prayers.
