Intravenous Fluid Pump

Sometimes patients need to be hospitalized due to dehydration. These patients require intravenous fluids to treat this potentially life threatening condition. Despite the obvious benefits of receiving intravenous fluids, too much fluid delivered too quickly can also be dangerous.

Our intravenous fluid pump is calibrated to give an exact preset amount of fluid at a specified rate of delivery. With this little pump, we can never give your pet too much fluid. The pump also has a built in alarm system to alert us if there is a kink in the line and the patient is not receiving enough fluid.

FUNFACT:

The common belief that dogs are color blind is false. Dogs can see color, but it is not as vivid a color scheme as we see. They distinguish between blue, yellow, and gray, but probably do not see red and green. This is much like our vision at twilight.
