What is the average lifespan of a cat receiving subcutaneous fluids?
On average, a cat can live on subcutaneous fluids for several months to a few years, depending on the underlying health condition and the effectiveness of the treatment. Subcutaneous fluids are typically administered to cats with kidney disease or other conditions that require hydration support. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate duration and frequency of subcutaneous fluid administration for your cat’s specific needs.
