It's Saturday and no Ringers are available. Is there anything else that you can give Sub-Q to aide in preventing dehydration. If so how much and how often. Thanks,Allen
 
normal saline, 5% Dextrose, both will work.



30-50cc every 8 hours for a small fawn, 3-8 pounds.



I've given as much as 100cc for a bigger fawn, every 8 hours.



depends on weight.

Thanks Troy and Lana, I tubed him 4cc goats milk and he perked up and sucked 4 more ounces 3 1/2 hrs later on his own. Doing a lot better now. We will see what tomorrow brings. Thanks again. Allen
 
Scott, my wife(a RN) said that would work if ya had to do something and nothing else was available.
