I just noticed a *huge* swelling around Jessie's right leg. It's not sensitive to the touch and it wasn't there earlier today. Is it possible that the subQ fluids she received at the vet's today "traveled" down to her leg? The vet told me to expect a lump on her back from it, but she doesn't have one on her back, just the one on her leg. Should I call the emergency vet? Hugs, CatNipped Ivy's (RB) subQ fluids constantly migrated before being absorbed. Usually flowed to her belly/chest area. We called them her "water-boobies". Of course, TED showed us to give her the subQ on her back, preferrably between her shoulder blades - but Ivy didn't like that. She preferred to lay on her side, so she invariably got the subQ fluids on the side she wasn't laying on, so it flowed more easily to her chest/belly. I think it was more of a matter that she cold see what we were doing when she lay on her side, but couldn't and therfore was more nervous & skittish if she lay on her belly. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
