Sub-q fluids expiration question
Is it ok to use the same bag for more than 5 weeks? Or should I have
stopped using it weeks ago? Someone told me that they go bad after 10-14 days. The vet never said anything about that. I just wanted to know in case the vet says something different when I call to ask about it. |

You might want to try going to the manufacturer's website and seeing if they have anything to say about a time limit there. Drug companies often have good info at their sites that the doctors don't mention to you. FirstHit |

FirstHit Usually I used up a sub-q bag within two or three weeks. *I thinK I was doing it every day or every other day. *After too long, the bag would look a bit yellow. My bag looks yellow too. I'm not sure if that's from heating it in a bowl of warm water or not. That's also why I can't tell if the fluids look normal or if they're slightly cloudy. I was supposed to be giving fluids twice a week but then the vet said to try once a week. That's why I'm only about half way through the bag after about 5 weeks. I tried calling the vet today but he was out of the office. The other vet was there but he gave me some questionable information before so I'm not sure if I trust him. I looked at the manufacturer's website but I didn't see any relevant information. |
