4.2
INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES
For the treatment of dehydration to correct water and electrolyte
depletion.
It is indicated in severe vomiting of acute onset where excessive
losses of
chloride ions occur and those conditions where the lodgement of
foreign
bodies interfere with ingestion, i.e. where there is vomiting and/or
endotoxic shock.
Once these losses have been replaced, it should be substituted by
Aqupharm No. 18 to avoid the administration of an excess of sodium
ions.
Additional oral potassium supplements may be required with protracted
use.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Sodium overload may occur in cases with myocardial and renal damage.
It
should also be appreciated that in the period following surgical
interference or severe trauma there may be an inability to excrete
excessive sodium.
4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
In evaluating an animal for possible fluid therapy the state of
hydration,
electrolyte balance, acid-base balance, renal function and caloric
balance
should be considered. Evaluation will be based on history, physical
examination and laboratory testing.
The solution is not suitable for protracted use unless there is heavy
and
continued loss of electrolytes. The difficulty arises from a danger of
potassium imbalance. In cases of potassium deficiency the
administration
of normal saline will increase potassium loss. Where such deficiency
is
known to occur it may be necessary to give oral potassium supplements.
