    Author: Berchtold J.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 1999 Nov; 15(3):505-31, vi. PubMed ID: 10573809.
    Abstract:
    Dehydration in neonatal calves with diarrhea is a common cause of death. Severely dehydrated calves that are unable to suckle need intravenous fluids for effective resuscitation. This article gives an overview of the principles of intravenous fluid therapy for dehydrated calves including the types of fluids commonly used and methods of fluid administration. Practical on-farm options for simple clinical assessment and treatment of dehydration and acidosis in calves are also discussed in this article.
