Subject: Fluid Therapy During Anaesthesia of Small Mammals including Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Rats

Fluid therapy is a critical component of gold standard intra-operative care of small mammals. Due to their tiny size and fast metabolisms, metabolic derangements can occur quickly during anaesthesia and appropriate fluid therapy can counteract many of these complications. Pre-operative bloods are also extremely useful in triaging and selecting patients suitable for surgical procedures. In this talk we will address i/v line placement, appropriate fluids and rates and which pre-op bloods are useful for the 3 species discussed.
