Actually the required amount of fluid varies with the size of the dog. So for that your vet will give you all the instructions.
Provide Full Medication Course: There are certain medicines that have full medication course, which should be completed strictly. So ensure to complete the entire course completely given by the vet. Some after a few doses your dog will become ok, don’t think that injury got cured with that. This can cause some future problems.
