I am working on a calculation where I am given the dog's weight and am to use a shock dose fluid rate of 90ml/kg to administer through a fluid pump. How can I figure out the amount of time needed to give a shock dose bolus?
I used to get these confused all the time. The way I explain it is: microdrop sets are 60drops/ml because it takes 60 tiny micro drops to add up to the ml. Whereas the macrodrip set is 10drops/ml (it only takes 10 big macro drops to fill up a ml). Hope this helps!

why don't you calculate the ongoing loss
Macro drip is 60 and micro is 10-15
