Dr. Daniel Lopez - a board certified veterinary surgeon - discusses findings of a recently published retrospective study that examined the relative risk of surgical complications (dehiscence) in dogs undergoing an enterotomy vs. intestinal resection and anastomosis. These findings may serve to inform both owners and veterinarians of the impact of procedure on risk of intestinal dehiscence. Regarding the calculation of RER: calculate the daily RER using one of the following two equations: 1) RER = 70 x BW(kg)^0.75 - This equation can be used for patients of any weight. or 2) RER = 30 x BW(kg) + 70 -This equation can be used for patients weighing 5–30 kg, but note that it is not as accurate as the equation above (it will overestimate the caloric needs of patients weighing 30 kg).
