After setting up the main indications for parenteral fluid therapy in calves and adult cattle, the means are studied to pratically evaluate on the field the dehydration, acid-base status, electrolyte disturbances and glycemia. The various classes of fluids are then considered as a function of the indications. Use of transfusion, hypertonic solutions and parenteral nutrition is broached. Routes and techniques of fluid administration are detailed. Obstacles encountered by the bovine practitioner when using parenteral fluid therapy are emphasized just as the means to overcome them. In this regard, it is described how to correctly prepare fluids for suited parenteral use in cattle. In fact, the present laws do not given this allowance to the practitioners. However, in most cases, it constitutes the only economical option avoiding worthless sufferings and death of the animal.
