In a bind out of iv bags unable to make it to somewhere that would have them tonight. I have a young pup that is dehydrated and won't drink. He ate and drank earlier this morning and afternoon. But tonight nada... Can you boil spring water and give a subq injection or should it only be an iv solution?

Go to a 24-hour store and use PEDIALYTE not water ... he needs electrolytes ... not just water ... good luck.

EDIT: You beat me to it :)
