An 80 pound black lab presents for a GI foreign body. He has been off feed and vomiting for 2 days. He is still happy. All of his blood work is normal. He is 5% dehydrated. You have not had the opportunity to rehydrate him because as soon as the doctor looked at the radiographs, he decided to go to surgery to remove the 6 rocks that appear to be in the intestinal tract. Please calculate a surgical fluid plan for him.
