How does Vetivex Veterinary DEHP Free Lactated Ringers Electrolyte Injection work?
Vetivex Veterinary DEHP Free Lactated Ringers Electrolyte Injection has value as a source of water and electrolytes. It is capable of inducing diuresis depending on the clinical condition of your pet. Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection produces a metabolic alkalinizing effect. Lactate ions are metabolized ultimately to carbon dioxide and water, which requires the consumption of hydrogen cations.
Cautions:
Do not administer to horses by intraperitoneal injection. Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection should be used with great care, if at all, in pets with congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency, and in clinical states in which there exists edema with sodium retention. Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection should be used with great care, if at all, in pets with hyperkalemia, severe renal failure, and in conditions in which potassium retention is present. Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection should be used with great care in pets with metabolic or respiratory alkalosis. The administration of lactate ions should be done with great care in those conditions in which there is an increased level or an impaired utilization of these ions, such as severe hepatic insufficiency. In pets with diminished renal function, administration of Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection may result in sodium or potassium retention. Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection is not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.

The risk of dilutional states is inversely proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injections. The risk of solute overload causing congested states with peripheral and pulmonary edema is directly proportional to the electrolyte concentrations of the injection.
What are the potential side effects of Vetivex Veterinary DEHP Free Lactated Ringers Electrolyte Injection?
Reactions which may occur because of the solution or the technique of administration include febrile response, infection at the site of injection, venous thrombosis or phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation, and hypervolemia. If an adverse reaction does occur, discontinue the infusion, evaluate your pet, institute appropriate therapeutic countermeasures, and save the remainder of the fluid for examination if deemed necessary.
What happens if I miss giving a dose of Vetivex Veterinary DEHP Free Lactated Ringers Electrolyte Injection?
Contact your veterinarian immediately.

In an event of overhydration or solute overload, re-evaluate your pet and institute appropriate corrective measures. Excess administration may result in metabolic alkalosis.
What should I avoid while giving Vetivex Veterinary DEHP Free Lactated Ringers Electrolyte Injection to my pet?
