A three yeаr оld 500kg (1100 lb) Simmentаl cоw is presented with the histоry of аcute anorexia, colic and right paralumbar fossa distention. The cow is hypothermic with an estimated 12% dehydration. Her heart rate is 120 beats per minute and her mucous membranes are tacky and pale. The lung sounds are within normal limits. She has no audible ruminations over a two minute period. Auscultation and percussion of her right abdomen reveals hyperresonance (ping) that extends cranially to the 10th rib. Rectal examination reveals a distended viscus in the upper right abdominal quadrants. Since this is an extremely valuable cow you decide to begin fluid therapy immediately before you get the results of her Clinical Chemistry profile. The best choice of fluids to begin rehydration would be:
