9 Kg for a 4 y/o ??? That's a pretty malnourished kid ... 😕

That is 100 ml/kg dehydration at 1 gm per ml of water my friend...

So, the intial weight would be about 10.1kg?

Are these calculations correct:
100 divided by 90 times 9.1kg=10.1kg

Recalculation for checking:
10% dehydration= 90 divided by 100 times 10.1kg= 9.1kg??
