As for the pedialyte, my vet did recommend I give it during a bad bout of dehydration with my doxie. Dehydration is one of those things that is more easily prevented than treated. It progresses quickly. This is one of those things that you should discuss with your vet before it actually happens so that you have the right supplies on hand.
An update from the OP would be nice. |
hmmmmm wondering if this is yet another thing on the list from bad advice from this vet...maybe they wanted the fee for the prescription...but I don't know other times that vet. like didn't want to give out prescriptions that could have made them more money...maybe they were just super uptight about some things...good to know someone else has heard this...I fell better knowing I have the Pedialyte option.
Oh I totally wasn't trying to imply Karo for dehydration...it was for the hypoglycemia strictly... I though Nutrical did have some effect on dehydration...I'm still learning here too
