Whole life insurance has a definite period during which premiums are paid. This will be specified in the policy. When first purchased, in addition to the amount of insurance selected, the purchaser selects the period of time that premiums will be paid.
No single rate of administration or composition of maintenance intravenous fluids is appropriate in all circumstances. Thus, intravenous fluids may be viewed as medications that require careful dose adjustment that is specific to the disease state of each patient.
Maintenance fluid is about 50-60ml/kg or 25-30 ml/lb. For an eight pound cat, that's about eight ounces (30 ml to an ounce). Some cats consistently drink a lot, and others consistently don't drink much. The important thing is to watch for a change in water consumption, and let your veterinarian know if this occurs.
