Is she is not having any fluid loss (diarrhea or vomiting) she should have about 40 oz in 24 hours. If she is having loss still then she needs the 40 Oz PLUS the amount she lost. 1/2 cup is 4 oz. so if no loss and you are doing 1/2 cup hourly for at least 12 Hours of the day you should be pretty good. Isnshe has a fever she will need more as well. Best of luck and I hope she continues to improve! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
