Abstract

Fluid and electrolytes play fundamental functional role in ruminant body. There are several disorders that can affect balance of fluid and electrolytes, such as severe diarrhea, vomiting, water shortage, renal disorders, hemorrhage and others. All of mentioned disorders can cause dehydration in animal. Dehydration is classified into several categories, in which its severe types can be fatal. In many cases, veterinarian administer fluids and electrolytes to treat dehydration and correct the balance of electrolytes, that not only improves the animal's health, but cause additional problems. The objectives of this review is to investigate the cause, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis and selection of suitable fluid for its treatment.
