Can somebody point me to a recipe for Ringers Lactate?  No, I'm not
planning on making my own, I'm just curious what's in it.

My cat had a bad bout of vomiting, ended up dehydrated, and the vet gave
him subcutaneous Ringers to rehydrate him.  I know it's an electrolye
solution, but can't find any details.  A google search turns up zillions
of references to what it's used for, but not what it's made from.

Ringer's lactate contains 130 mEq of sodium, 4 mEq of potassium and 2.7mEq
of calcium, balanced by 109 mEq of chloride and 28 mEq of lactate.

Lactated Ringer's injection (solution) contains calcium chloride, potassium
chloride, sodium chloride, sodium lactate and water.  It is generally used
as a fluid and electrolyte replenisher.
