Glucose / Dextrose
別名: Aqupharm, Vetivex
Glucose (dextrose) is given intravenously to provide your pet with essential hydration and energy, especially if they are suffering from low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) or are unable to eat. * **Hospitalization:** This treatment is typically administered in the clinic where the veterinary team can closely monitor your pet's blood sugar levels and hydration. * **Catheter Care:** The veterinary team will monitor the IV catheter site, as concentrated sugar solutions can sometimes irritate the veins. * **Nutrition:** For severely malnourished pets, glucose must be introduced carefully to avoid metabolic complications.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
