Hello,
My Rabbit Amelia has had GI stasis for a month now and I have been giving her Subcutaneous fluids the entire time. I have been doing this 1-2 times a day for a month without any problem. The vet taught me how to do this and until yesterday I was getting it done just fine. Last night when I have bun her fluids when I took the needle out I noticed a big bulge of water under her skin by her neck where I had injected the fluids. I called the vet emergency line and she didn't pick up but called back later and left a voicemail, she said that this can happen sometimes and to bring her to the emergency vet if it didn't go away after 4hrs. So it went away in about two hours. Noe tonight I was extra careful that I didn't put the needle in too low and it did it again! I took the needle out and put it in a different spot and it did it AGAIN! I don't know what I am doing wrong. Like I said I was trained by the vet and have been doing it for a month with out a problem and the last few times that this waer bubble has formed under her skin I didn't do anything different so I don't know why it is happening.
Thanks,
Britt
