👉 Veterinary fluid, also known as veterinary fluid therapy or IV therapy, is a medical practice used to administer fluids directly into an animal's bloodstream to treat dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or other conditions. This method involves using intravenous (IV) catheters to deliver fluids such as crystalloids, colloids, or blood products at controlled rates. The goal is to restore proper hydration levels, correct electrolyte disturbances, and support overall physiological functions. Proper administration requires careful monitoring of the animal's response, including vital signs and fluid status, to ensure effective treatment and minimize risks like infection or fluid overload.
