Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your puppy being on IV fluids. It's understandable to feel worried, but I'm here to help ease your mind a bit.
When a puppy is on IV fluids, it usually means they're dealing with dehydration or a condition that requires support with essential fluids and nutrients. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as gastrointestinal issues, infections, or even after undergoing surgery. IV fluids help maintain proper hydration, balance electrolytes, and ensure that your puppy is getting the care they need to recover.
At home, it's important to keep your puppy in a calm, comfortable environment. Make sure they can rest peacefully and have access to water when they're interested.
Watch for any concerning signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or any changes in their behavior or appetite, as these could indicate that their condition needs further attention.
If you notice these signs, or if you have any doubts or concerns, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible for guidance on the next steps.
Consider scheduling a video consult with one of us at Dial A Vet, so we can provide more personalized advice and assess how your puppy is doing. We're here to ensure your furry friend gets the best care possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
