"Attach the tube to the fluid bag. The subcutaneous fluids should be contained in a large bag, similar to an IV bag. Lay the bag on a flat surface and remove the plug from the end of the bag. Then, open the bag that holds the tube. One end will have a spike that you can insert into the fluid bag. Pull the cap off the spike, then push the spike into the nozzle on the end of the fluid bag. However, avoid touching the area where you're going to insert the spike—this is sterile, so you don't want to contaminate it.\nBefore you connect the tube, make sure the clamps on the tube are closed so the fluids won't flow out when you insert the spike.\nProperly dispose of the needle you're using away when you're done. Don't reuse a needle, as it can contaminate the fluids\nTalk to your vet about whether or not it's appropriate to keep fluids for more than one use."
