Sick Dog or Cat? How MUCH fluid can I give?
This is one of the MOST overlooked parts of home veterinary care. A dehydated, electroyte depeleted dog or cat needs rehydration to get better.
KEEP HYDRATED. Offer plenty of fresh water in different spots around the house. If your pet refuses to drink, use an eyedropper or turkey baster to squirt water into the side of its mouth. Minerals become depleted when your pet is dehydrated; for an added boost, add Pedialyte, an electrolyte solution available from the pharmacy. Some pets prefer chicken or beef broth, or tuna juice; give them whatever works.
The 'average' pet fluid requirement is approximately 1/2 cup (125ml)- 1 cup (250ml), per 10bs daily. Then by adding in an electrolyte solution, such as pedialyte, you can replace electrolytes not being consumed with food over a 24 hour period.
So for instance when my dog Lewis recently 'got into compost', then was too ill to eat or drink, I calculated his fluid requirement as 6 cups (1500 ml) - he is approx 80lbs.
I then gave him an electrolyte solution and replaced his fluids with 250ml ( 1 cup) every 3 hours over the day.
