How much water/day?
How much water needed to met water requirement?
25kg, 5yo, MN
Food- moisture = 85g/100mL
Metabolized energy = 105 kcal/100mL
RER = (70) (25^0.75) = 783 kcal/day
Water = RER = 783 kcal/day
Energy = (100)(783/105) = 745.7
745.7 *0.85 = 633mL
633 -783 = 150mL
The dog is 5% dehydrated and not eating
What is the dose to correct dehydration over 24 hours?
MN, 5yo, 25kg
RER = 783 kcal/day or mL/day
BW * % dehydration
(25)(0.05) = 1.25 L
1.25L + (783 mL/1000mL) = 2.03 L
