| Route | Dose | Frequency | Duration | Indication | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IV | 0.01–0.03 mmol/kg/hr | continuous rate infusion (CRI) | Until serum phosphorus normalized | Hypophosphatemia (DKA, refeeding) | Moderate | Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, 10th ed. (2023), p.1021 (PDF 1048), monograph 'Phosphate (Potassium-, Sodium-), IV', DOGS/CATS — Hypophosphatemia (extra-label) |
One of the cited rules is a continuous-rate-infusion regimen: IV 0.01–0.03 mmol/kg/hr continuous rate infusion (CRI). CRI regimens are delivered as a continuous infusion rather than discrete doses — verify the rate against the cited source before use.

Provides phosphorus essential for ATP synthesis, bone mineralization, acid-base balance, and cell membrane integrity.
Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and soft tissue calcification risk with rapid infusion. Monitor calcium and phosphorus levels. Reduce dose in renal impairment.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for cats may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Sodium Phosphate dose range in cats, with cited source references: IV 0.01–0.03 mmol/kg/hr continuous rate infusion (CRI). Reference ranges from cited sources — verify against current literature before clinical use.

Cited course lengths for Sodium Phosphate in cats include: Until serum phosphorus normalized. Duration depends on the indication — match it to the specific dose rule in the table above.
Sodium Phosphate is indicated in cats for: Hypophosphatemia (DKA, refeeding).
These are general warnings for Sodium Phosphate across species; consult the cat dosing table above for species-specific guidance. Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and soft tissue calcification risk with rapid infusion. Monitor calcium and phosphorus levels. Reduce dose in renal impairment.
Why a species-specific page? Sodium Phosphate pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in cats — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
