My Emma, who had renal failure, was getting 50cc once a day. It was
usually absorbed within an hour afterward. This was on my vet's
instructions. There are formulas for mild, moderate, and severe
dehydration but I don't have them handy at the moment.

Emma easily could have taken twice that much (in two sittings) as she
always was a little bit dehydrated, despite the fluids.
