How is IV fuilds helping a dog with kidney disease?I am curious about the process of injecting a dog that has kidney disease with IV fluids. I understand it helps, but how does the fluids make their way from under the skin to the blatter and flushes the kidneys in the meantime?

Iv fluids will help your dog rehydrate and help prevent dehydration. IV means intravenous meaning it is straight into his blood stream.

The fluids are given subcutaneous, which means the fluids are given under the skin. Then the body slowly absorbs the fluids and they get flushed out through the kidneys which help get rid of toxin build up in the kidneys. I did this with my cat for two years and it really helped.
