This week, we’ll review the use of crystalloids, colloids and blood products in the small animal patient, using the most recent published literature available to help us arrive at a formula for developing a safe and effective fluid therapy plan for our patients. We’ll look at evidence behind transfusion triggers, the safety and efficacy of synthetic colloids, and whether we should use them or not, and look at why we should avoid excessive fluid rates in our patients.
