You Hi...my cat is in renal failure and I need to give him iv fluids. I already got lactate ringers solution but I was wondering can I use sodium chloride solution too?
0.9% sodium chloride can be given IV. I am wondering if you mean that you are giving the fluids subcutaneously since this is a procedure that is often performed at home. I would recommend contacting your veterinarian before giving any fluids - there are some blood chemistry changes that might make a veterinarian choose one fluid over another so while sodium chloride can technically be given subcutaneously or intravenously it might not be ideal for Symba.

My dog seems dehydrated. Her CRT is more than 2 seconds. She has low energy and doesn’t want to walk much. I’ve given her pedialyte. What might this be?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. There are many causes of dehydration and given her symptoms, I would recommend having her blood tested to rule out kidney disease or any other systemic diseases / infections. She will likely need a course of subcutaneous fluids, which is when fluid is administered under the skin and absorbed by the body. This is an effective way to hydrate an animal and is well tolerated. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns that you may have.

Is pydialite safe for pets to eat and soak in? How does it help? How does it help reptiles skin?
Pedialyte is a balanced electrolyte replacement solution that has sodium, potassium & chloride, & sometimes high amounts of glucose (sugar). It is used primarily in humans, but can be utilized in other species, especially dogs & cats. Since there is no balanced electrolyte solutions for reptiles, if you decide to use some for your reptile, then make sure it is unflavored. It is generally not used for soaking, but as an oral drench in dehydrated animals. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Exists transfusion albumin to a cat? (after the ascitic fluid has been evacuated)
Yes. There is something called hetastarch/vetstarch. It is given as a transfusion intraveniously. It is not actually albumin but a substance that acts like albumin by holding fluid in the blood vessels. I am not sure if it is available in Russia. If hetastarch/vetstarch is not available then the only other option is to give Sonja a whole blood tansfusion. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

My dog is on lasix for fluid around his heart. Is there any electrolyte replacement beverage formulated specifically for dogs? I am not interested in the i.v. bags.
I am not familiar with an oral electrolyte replacement. Usually dogs who are eating and drinking well don't have electrolyte abnormalities, so I would make sure he has a diagnosed electrolyte abnormality before trying to supplement. If your vet has recommended fluids under the skin, that would indicate that Bubbles is actually dehydrated as well. Dehydration and heart disease are a hard pair of issues to balance because the treatment for the heart disease involves causing some dehydration with lasix. Since it sounds like something a bit complicated is going on with Bubbles, I'd recommend sharing your treatment concerns with his primary care veterinarian or cardiologist so they can help you make a safe and effective plan. Wishing you the best of luck.
