Vetivex Lactated Ringer’s Injection has value as a source of water and electrolytes. It is capable of inducing diuresis depending on the clinical condition of your pet.

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.

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.

Breed Puggle
GREAT PRODUCT
Great product for administering sub q fluids to my Puggle. It's only flaw is the markings on the bag are only every 100ml unlike other brands which have markings every 50ml. My Puggle's treatment is 150ml twice a day, so it's basically a guessing game where to stop in between the two markings.
