Use the equation kg x 50 = mL/day for Maintenace rate

Use kg x % of dehydration x 10 = mL/day for replacement rate

5. A 50lb dog needs fluids at maintenance rate. What will the daily dose be? What will the mLs/hr rate be if given over 24hrs? What would it be if the full dose is to be given over 8hrs instead?

6. The DVM orders you to give a 50lb dog fluids at 3x maintenance rate for the first 1 hour of treatment then lower it to maintenance rate until closing time. The full dose is to be divided over 24hrs. What will each mL/hr rate be? If it's 2pm now and you close at 7pm, how much fluids will the dog have received total during that period?

7. A 25lb dog is 8% dehydrated. Determine the total daily fluid dose. What will his mLs/hr rate be if given over 24hrs? You have 15gtt drip sets. What will his rate be in measurable drop(s)/sec(s)?

9. A 25lb dog is 10% dehydrated. Determine the total daily fluid dose. What will his mLs/hr rate be if given over 24hrs? You have 20gtt drip sets. What will his rate be in measurable drop(s)/sec(s)?
