Electrolyte supplement and method of use

摘要

A method of managing dehydration in an animal includes administering a first electrolyte solution having an SID range at or below 25 mEq/l. After administering the first electrolyte solution, the animal's health condition is observed to determine the effect of the first solution. If the animal's health condition has not sufficiently improved, a second solution comprising the first electrolyte solution supplemented with a second electrolyte supplement is administered to the animal wherein the second electrolyte supplement raises the SID of the second solution to at least 50 mEq/l.

1. A method of treating dehydration in an animal, the method comprising
administering to an animal a first electrolyte solution having an SID equal to or less than 25 mEq/l wherein the first electrolyte solution is free of glycine and alkalinizing agents; observing the animal's health condition to determine the effect of the first electrolyte solution; and where the animal's health condition has not improved:
combining an additional amount of the first electrolyte solution with an electrolyte supplement comprising glycine and one or more alkalynizing agents to form a second electrolyte solution, wherein the second electrolyte solution has an SID of at least 50 mEq/l, and administering the second electrolyte solution to the animal.
