Most Liked Positive Review
No clamp (roller only), but fast flow
Wish it had a clamp AND roller ball, because I've had some roller balls come loose causing me to lose fluids. But, I think I'd get this again anyway (still need some extra testing to decide), because the line set seems more flexible and seems to flow faster than the lines I got at my vet. The added flexibility makes me think it won't tangle as much (and maybe less air bubbles than my old line). Still new to this! Overall, I'm happy with Vet Rx. They got my vet info quickly, delivered quickly, have the pharmacy certifications, and prices that make this whole renal failure thing easier to handle.

Out of stock so we had to pay way more
We were trying to order two 1000 ml bags of Sodium Chloride solution. The reason we decided to get it here instead of our vet is because it was supposed to be much cheaper. Since they are out of 1000 ml bags, we got eight 250 ml bags sent to us. The price for the tiny bags is only a couple of dollars cheaper than the big bag, plus we needed 8 tube sets instead of two. Unbelieveable how expensive this was and I have to stop and switch to a second bag mid dose because my cat gets 100 mls per day. Regret buying this here :( what's the deal with the supply?!?!?!

My Kitty Needs This Product .....
From UndisclosedComments about Sodium Chloride 0.9% SolutionMy kitty has kidney disease and a propensity for high calcium. This is the solution she needs. Regular LARS "might" negatively affect her calcium and we feel we do not want to take any changes. She is remaining stable giving her these fluids every day and we can not ask for more than that ..... except a miracle ..... which we'd gladly take. -
Does the job!

Renal failure
From undisclosedComments about Sodium Chloride 0.9% SolutionSo much cheaper than my local vet. These bags are easy to use and read. My cat is in the end stages of renal failure, so Sub-Q fluids are a must. -
Convenience and cost savings
From St. Louis, MOComments about Sodium Chloride 0.9% SolutionI have to provide this saline drip to my older cat who has kidney disease. Buying from VetRxDirect saves me almost 50% from what I was paying at my vet's office. -
Product exactly as promised
From St. Louis, MOComments about Sodium Chloride 0.9% SolutionI have to give my cat 100 milliliters of saline every other day because of her kidney condition. This service conveniently delivers several bags to my door and I save quite a bit compared to buying them from my vet. -

sub Q fluids for feline kidney disease. sodium chloride 0.9 % solution vs. lactated ringers - when to use one vs. the other. and of course, any contraindications for one or the other.?
-
Cats experiencing kidney disease can require supplemental hydration in the form of subcutaneous or intravenous fluids. The major difference between sodium chloride 0.9% and lactated ringer's is the content of the solution. Sodium chloride solution only contains water and sodium chloride. Lactated ringer's contains a variety of electrolytes which may be necessary in cases when the cat is losing fluid and electrolytes such as vomiting and diarrhea. There is a variety of different fluids to choose from. The amount and type of fluid needed by the cat should be determined by a veterinarian, who will take into consideration the needs of the patient and severity of the disease. While there are no known contraindications to these fluids, the veterinarian may choose different fluids depending on the specific needs of the animal. Thank you, VetRxDirect
