Abstract
This review outlines the importance of considering other aspects of tr eatment for underlying conditions, and other nursing measures, when fl uid therapy is employed in small animal patients. The choice of fluid therapy should be based on rationally defined therapeutic targets and not following a strict set of procedures. Monitoring should also be a constant feature during fluid therapy so that adjustments can be made according to a patient's response to the treatment.
