Glucose (Dextrose) In Dogs and Cats: Uses, Dosage and Side Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

$\"Glucose$ <\/p>\n\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
Source of energy for cellular metabolism.<\/li>\n
Osmotic agent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Uses of Glucose (Dextrose)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
Dilute glucose solutions are used for fluid replacement (primarily where intracellular and interstitial losses have occurred).<\/li>\n
Concentrated glucose solutions are used parenterally as an energy source or in the treatment of hypoglycaemia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Dose of Glucose (Dextrose) in Dogs and Cats<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Dogs:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Fluid therapy<\/strong><\/span>: fluid requirements depend upon the degree of dehydration and ongoing losses.<\/li>\n
Parenteral nutrition:<\/strong> <\/span>the amount required will be governed by the animal\u2019s physiological status, the parenteral nutrition admixture and its ability to tolerate high blood glucose levels.
\nGenerally, glucose is used to supply 40\u201360% of the energy requirement.<\/li>\n
Hypoglycaemia:<\/strong><\/span> 1\u20135 ml 50% dextrose i.v. slowly over 10 min.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cats:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Doses as for dogs for fluid therapy and hypoglycaemia.<\/li>\n
Specific advice regarding nutrient admixtures and the use of concentrated glucose solutions for the provision of energy in cats requiring nutritional support should be sought.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
