While this can be scary to hear, \u201cfluids\u201d are a common treatment for many canine ailments. If you own dogs long enough, chances are that at some point they will receive parenteral fluid therapy. Parenteral refers to administration via a needle into the body, rather than by mouth or other routes.<br \/>\nFluids are administered for a variety of reasons including during surgery, to treat dehydration, toxicity and shock, and when other systemic illnesses, such as kidney disease, are present.<\/p>\n<h2>How fluids work<\/h2>\n<p>Fluids are usually given by one of two routes: intravenous\/IV (meaning directly into the vein via a catheter) or subcutaneous\/SQ (a needle is used to introduce a \u201cbubble\u201d of fluid underneath the skin). Intravenous fluids are immediately beneficial, as they are given right into the bloodstream, while subcutaneous fluids are slowly absorbed over time.<\/p>\n<p>The IV route is used in more serious conditions when immediate hydration is necessary and must be done in the hospital, while subcutaneous fluids are given when rehydration can or needs to be slower. This is usually done on an outpatient basis.<\/p>\n<p>If fluids are given under the skin, the veterinarian will use a needle, gently poke through the skin and administer the fluids. This will lead to a lump on your dog\u2019s back or shoulder area, which will be absorbed over one to eight hours, depending on how dehydrated your dog is.<\/p>\n<p>IV fluids must be administered in the hospital. A catheter is placed in the vein by either the veterinarian or a veterinary technician or assistant. The most commonly used vein is the cephalic, which runs along the top of the foreleg and is generally easily accessible. The saphenous vein in the rear leg can also be used. After the catheter is placed, the IV will be wrapped to prevent it from being pulled out accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>There are several types of fluids including sodium chloride (NaCl), Plasmalyte, Normosol and lactated ringer\u2019s solution (LRS). What type your dog receives depends on the underlying condition and availability at your veterinarian\u2019s office. Complications related to fluid therapy are rare.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_392350\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-392350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-392350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dogster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Emergency-Fluids_gett1220206231.png\" alt=\"dog needs fluids\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-392350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Slavica | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Some common reasons a dog will be given fluids<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some common conditions that benefit from fluid therapy include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogster.com\/dog-health-care\/pancreatitis-in-dogs\">pancreatitis<\/a>, an inflammatory, painful condition of the digestive tract, and kidney and liver disease.

It can be caused by viruses, dietary indiscretion and foreign objects in the stomach and intestines.

In cases of mild gastroenteritis, outpatient treatment is often sufficient, and subcutaneous fluids will be given. In moderate to severe cases, hospitalization and more aggressive IV therapy may be needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toxin ingestion:<\/strong>\u2004Dogs are often curious and will follow their noses to just about anything. I have treated dogs who have ingested everything from fiberglass to dark chocolate brownie batter to raw bread dough. Fluids are often a component of treatment for toxin ingestions.
