Sure, there are some things I can manage at home; but with the posts the OP has made I can tell you there is not a chance I would be treating at home.

My opinion remains the same: back to the vet for IV fluids

I am a nurse too, but you have to know your own limitations.....different nurses have much different skill levels....
