The cat weighs 8 lbs, is 10% dehydrated, and doesn't have any vomiting or diarrhea.
Use this information to calculate the needed fluid rates
for each phase of fluid therapy for this patient. Be sure
to include the formula you're using, and show each step
in the calculation of the fluid rates.

The needed fluid rates for each phase of fluid therapy for this patient will be 288ml and 72 ml.

Based on the information given, the total ml that's needed for rehydration will be:

= 10% × 3.6 × 1000

= 360 ml

Therefore, for the first 24 hours, the fluid rate will be:

= 369 × 0.8

= 288 ml

For the second 24 hours, the fluid rate will be:

= 366 × 0.2

= 72 ml

Therefore, the needed fluid rates for each phase of fluid therapy for this patient will be 288ml and 72 ml.

The correct answer would be - rehydration dose of 360 ml

Explanation:

Rehydration dose or hydration deficit is amount of fluid that required to be replaced to bring a dehydrated animal to hydrated state.

Given:

8 lbs cat 10% dehydrated   (without vomiting or diarrhea)

8 lbs = 3.6 kg

Formula:

rehydration dose (ml) = (% dehydration X Body Weight in kg) X 1000

convert % to a decimal - ex 10% = 0.1

solution step by step :

total ml for rehydration =

(0.1 x 3.6 kg) X 1000 =

0.36 x 1000 =

360 ml rehydration dose

first 24 hours

= 360 X 0.8 = 288 ml

second 24 hours

= 360 X 0.2= 72 mls
