I was talking to my cousin last night (a recently retired registered nurse) and she asked me if it was a large bag of fluids on the IV post along with the meds bag. There wasn't. She said the protocol where she was would hang fluids as well as the antibiotics. She said that either my brother or I should check with the dr.
Truthfully, dosage instructions are there for a reason. I know it's not the same as a person, but the last time I encountered someone who sped up administration of meds was when they were treating my first dog for heartworm. They administered the meds over 18 hrs rather than 24 because they wanted to clear out the kennel for the 4th of July holiday. My poor pup ended up dying from what amounted to arsenic poisoning, as diagnosed by an emergency vet. Sooo, I'm not a big fan of trying to speed things up.
