ASPECTOS CLÍNICOS DA INFUSÃO INTRAPERITONEAL EM BOVINOS

Abstract

The maintenance and the proper concentration of ions are essential for homeostasis in animals. Some diseases such as hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, diarrhea among others, commonly affect cattle, leading to eletrolute an acid base imbalances. Fluid therapy is done as a therapeutic method. This paper is intended to evaluate the use of intraperitoneal administrations of crystalloid solutions and other drugs as an effective and safe way for rehydration therapy of the sick animals.
