Abstract

This article discusses some of the basic issues concerning fluid therapy in small animals. It is hoped that the reader is able to assess the fluid needs of a dog or cat presented for veterinary treatment. The remaining articles address particular fluid compositions and fluid choices in patients with a variety of diseases and electrolyte imbalances.
