FLUID THERAPY

A 25 kg dog with a history of vomiting and diarrhea presents to the clinic severely dehydrated, and the veterinarian estimates the dog is 10% dehydrated.

1,250 mL

1,500 mL

2,000 mL

2,500 mL

1,250 mL

25 × 10 (0.10) = 2.5

2.5 × 1000 = 2,500

2,500 / 2 = 1,250mL

FLUID THERAPY

A 10 kg cat is admitted with moderate dehydration (6%). How much fluid should be administered to replace the deficit?

400 mL

600 mL

700 mL

800 mL

600 mL

10 × 0.06 = 0.6

0.6 × 1000 = 600 mL

FLUID PROBLEM

A 5 kg cat with severe dehydration (12%) is admitted to the clinic. The veterinarian orders an initial shock dose of fluids, followed by replacement of the fluid deficit. The shock dose for cats is typically 50 mL/kg. How much fluid should be administered for the shock dose and the dehydration deficit combined?
