Sodium Phosphate is used in cat for Hypophosphatemia (DKA, refeeding). Routes documented in cat: IV. A typical adult cat weighs 2.50–7.00 kg. ExoticRx lists 1 cited dose rule for Sodium Phosphate in cat, drawn from published veterinary references. Verify against current literature before clinical use.
Trade names: Fleet Phospho-soda
| Route | Dose | Frequency | Duration | Indication | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IV | 0.01–0.06 mmol/kg/hr | CRI over 6-12 hours | Until serum phosphorus normalized | Hypophosphatemia (DKA, refeeding) | Moderate | Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook, 9th Ed |
One of the cited rules is a continuous-rate-infusion regimen: IV 0.01–0.06 mmol/kg/hr CRI over 6-12 hours. 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 cat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
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 cat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
