ABSTRACT
Water is essential for life. Without adequate fluid intake, normal body functioning becomes impaired and ultimately can lead to death. A fluid therapy plan should be considered for any small animal patient that has either inadequate fluid intake, excessive fluid loss, or both. A simplified approach to fluid therapy begins with an understanding of the composition of fluid and its distribution within the body. Next, consideration of electrolyte loss, acid-base disturbances, perfusion impairment, and loss of protein also becomes important when replenishing deficits by using various fluids that are commercially available to small animal practitioners.
