Normosol-R is used for the treatment of dehydration and electrolyte depletion in animals. Compared to Lactated Ringers Solution, Normosol has more potassium and less calcium (none in this case). Therefore, Normosol is a good option for pets with hypercalcemia (elevated calcium). There are 2 different pH for this fluid- 6.6 and 7.4. Normosol-R 7.4pH is equivalent to PlasmaLyte A. Please select the appropriate pH when ordering- 6.6 is "regular" Normosol.
IMPORTANT: During the winter months there is a danger of freezing which could cause the fluid to expand and burst the bags of fluid. Please make sure there is someone home to receive the shipment or that there is a place to leave the package where it will not freeze. We will not replace fluids which have not been handled appropriately.
