crystaloids can be given as a bolus over 5-10 m<strong>in</strong>utes. After stabiliz<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

patient, the ma<strong>in</strong>tenance dose is 6 ml/kg/h. To this, 50% of the deficit is added<br />

over 6 hours.<br />

HYPOXIA<br />

Hypoxia is not easily recognized cl<strong>in</strong>ically because puppies and kittens<br />

tend not to hyperventilate until they are several days old. After bith, respiratory<br />

and metabolic acidosis has been shown to be normal. Treatment should<br />

be considered if acidosis lasts longer than 3 hours. Hypoxia causes serious<br />

stress that can lead to complications such as depression, translocation of <strong>in</strong>test<strong>in</strong>al<br />

bacteria and chill<strong>in</strong>g, result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> decreased resistance to bacteria. The<br />

treatment consists of oxygen supplementation provided by <strong>in</strong>cubator. Care<br />

Car<strong>in</strong>g for puppies should be done <strong>in</strong> a strict chronological order:<br />

- Vacuum the mucous (amniotic liquid) from the respiratory tract (mouth,<br />

nose and larynx) by us<strong>in</strong>g a baby fly (pear, ...) keep<strong>in</strong>g the puppy on his<br />

stomach head slightly tilted downwards.<br />

- Rub the puppy vigourously (paper towel, clean fields ...) to dry (to limit hypothermia)<br />

and stimulate breath<strong>in</strong>g (presence of cutaneous mechanoreceptors).<br />

The puppy must be stimulated until it is observed an effective spontaneous<br />

respiration. In case of <strong>in</strong>sufficient breath<strong>in</strong>g movements (fe-<br />
