feedback4="'''Incorrect!''' Have you used maintenance fluid rate i.e. 2mls/kg/hr? The surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec.
