How do you give Demerol injections through IV?
You want to give Demerol over about two minutes because it can cause a burning sensation if pushed too fast. Sometimes, if the NS is running at a slow enough rate, you can push the Demerol into a port further away from the patient, allowing the IV fluids to slowly carry the Demerol into your patient.

As an RN, it would be time for a new IV site if this were to happen.

Yes, it is possible to overhydrate a dog and cause iatrogenic peripheral edema (build-up of water in the extracellular tissues). However, it takes placing an IV line and pushing too much IV fluids to do this - it is very unlikely you could do this at home.
