🎯 Bolus Response End-points
Desired Response: Normal HR, Pink MM, CRT < 2s, MAP > 70 mmHg, Decreasing Lactate, Urine Output > 1 ml/kg/h Lack of Response: If more than 3 boluses are needed, consider other causes: active bleeding, sepsis, cardiac dysfunction, hormonal (Addison's), anaphylaxis. Cats: Due to the risk of fluid overload, stop after 2 boluses and evaluate temperature/ear/paw pressure.

📋 Clinical Evaluation of Dehydration Percentage
< 5%: Clinically undetectable, based on history only 5-6%: Mild loss of skin elasticity, moist but slightly tacky mucous membranes 6-8%: Obvious skin tent, dry mucous membranes, slightly prolonged CRT (2s) 8-10%: Persistent skin tent, very dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, CRT > 2s, onset of tachycardia in dogs and bradycardia in cats 10-12%: Signs of shock: weak pulse, cold extremities, altered mentation > 12%: Severe shock, life-threatening
📋 Patient Information
⚠️ Warning: Fluids must be warmed prior to administration.

💡 Note: Estimating and correcting dehydration in pediatric patients is much more difficult due to the unreliability of skin turgor, mucous membranes, etc. Crystalloid doses for correcting dehydration may be adjusted to 60-180 ml/kg/day with continuous monitoring and reassessment.

⚠️ Critical Pediatric Notes: IO route is an alternative to IV | Check glucose every 2-4h | Keep warm (T > 36°C before IV fluids) | Use syringe pump or microdrip | Adult shock doses are dangerous
