Lactated Ringers Injectable Solution
Electrolyte Solutions work to restore proper balance of electrolytes (sodium, chloride, potassium, etc.) in the body, so that important actions like muscle contraction and nerve activity can take place. They also supply additional water that the body needs when oral fluid intake is not sufficient.

Lactated Ringer's Injectable Solution
If your pet is suffering a kidney disease or other illness, they may be experiencing decreased hydration and intake of fluids. It can be crucial that those lost fluids are replaced to ensure your pet's long-term well-being, and a lactated ringer's electrolyte solution can help.
Lactated ringer's solution is a prescription medication that works to help return the proper balance of electrolytes to your pet's body. Ringer's solution contains many of the same electrolytes that blood produces naturally, like sodium lactate, potassium chloride and water. Ringer's lactate can be given to your dog or cat intravenously or subcutaneously, depending on the health condition of your pet. Consult your veterinarian to find out what medical solution your pet needs and the type of prescription medication that should be administered.
Kidney disease and other illnesses can also be responsible for physical pain in addition to dehydration. Along with lactated ringer's solution, Petco has a variety of prescription pain relief medications that can help with the pain that can come from conditions requiring electrolyte solutions. Lactated ringer's solution can be administered intravenously or subcutaneously, so you will likely need sterile hypodermic needles, a fluid administration set, syringes or a similar delivery method. Please consult your veterinarian to see what they recommend for administering lactated ringer's solution, as these electrolyte delivery solutions will require a prescription.
Many pet parents don't consider the possibility of needing electrolyte solutions like ringer's lactate. At Petco, we carry pet solutions for the well-being of your cat, dog or small animal so that you don't have to worry about tending to your pet's future health.
