Abstract
This comprehensive review outlines current, evidence-based fluid therapy practices for trauma management in dogs and cats. It explores the evolving understanding of trauma pathophysiology, the detrimental effects of inappropriate fluid use, and presents individualized strategies for managing hemorrhagic, obstructive, distributive, cardiogenic, and neurogenic shock. The review emphasizes dynamic resuscitation, minimizing coagulopathy, judicious fluid selection, and the integration of vasopressors and blood products, adapting protocols to specific patient needs and injuries.
