You DO NOT inject Lactated Ringers UNDER the skin. It IS an I.V.[intravenous fluid]. Used commonly for Hypovolemia ie; To HYDRATE a [human or mammal] because of fluid OR blood loss. Such as, in trauma.
Injecting LR under the skin, will NOT disperse the fluid to the vital organs & tissues. To sustain B.P/[Blood Pressure], perfuse organs & reduce Metabolic Acidosis. I.V. fluids are just that, used IN the VEINS, not over or on top of the veins/[or under their fur].
I was a medic for 17yrs. Had I given LR to trauma pts I assisted. Et NOT injected LR INTO their veins. It would NOT of helped them at all.
When an animal or human has great body fluid loss[water, plasma, blood, ect]. They need fluid replenishment IN their veins, not on top of their veins.
