Lactated Ringer’s solution at a rate of 10 mL/kg/hr often is recommended for this purpose. If you wish to read more details about this recommendation, please consult Peter Pascoe’s excellent chapter entitled, “Perioperative management of fluid therapy” in S.P. DiBartola: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid Base Disorders in Small Animal Practice, 3rd edition, Elsevier, St. Louis, 2006; pp. 406–408.
