An 80Ibs dog presents to the clinic with a 4 day history of vomiting and diarrhea. The Dr. wishes to correct his dehydration over the next 12 hours. The Dr. assesses his dehydration at 10%. a. The Dr wants his dehydration corrected in the first 12 hours. Use a maintenance rate of 100 ml/kg/day. What are his requirements for the first 12 hours?

b. What is his rate in ml/hr? What is the drip rate using a 15 gtt/ml drip set for the first 12 hours (gtt/s)?

c. The dog now needs a CRI of metoclopramide at a rate of 2 mg/kg/day. Use your rate from part b. He has 500 ml left in the bag. How much metoclopramide do we need to add to the bag (in mg)? How many ml would this be if the drug concentration is 5mg/ml?

d. You are continuing to monitor him and within the first two hours he continues to vomit and have diarrhea. The estimated loss is 50 mls. What will his hourly rate be with these ongoing losses (ml/hr)? Use the value from b again.

e. What would have been the total volume of fluids needed to correct his dehydration status in a 24 hour period?
