Guest FTBBTH Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 hi all, i did know this, and was just wondering if others did, if you didnt you should try it out. i asked the locl vet were i could get some electrolytes for my whippet bitch when i use her on the lamp, they use them for greyhounds etc, they replinish lost sugars and salts fast to a working dog so it takes les time for a dog to recover from a big run. the vet said, ' why do you want elctrolyte? theyre just over rated sugary water. either get some a pan of water maby a pint or so, put 4-5 table spoons of sugar, boil it, put it in a bottle when i cools and shake then give to dogs, or the best thing a tea spoon of treacle!' so thats what im going to be doing from now on atb FTB Quote Link to post

DogMagic 461 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Your vet is a prize c**t mate. Get a pack of electrolite powder and read the contents. Much more than just sugar! And all of it has a purpose. 1 Quote Link to post
