Hydra-Lyte
This treatment applies to the following species:Electrolyte replacement and nutritional supplement for young animals
Suggested Use: As an electrolyte replacement and nutritional supplement in young calves, lambs, kids, and foals.
Preparation: Hydra-Lyte readily dissolves in water and is easily absorbed. Prepare solution by dissolving the contents of both compartments of this package in two quarts of warm water. Prepare the solution just prior to use and feed with an esophageal probe, nursing bottle or pail.
Feeding Directions: Provide two quarts of Hydra-Lyte solution to each calf or foal twice daily for the first two days. Feed the Hydra-Lyte solution as extra meals while still feeding milk or milk replacer. If the animal refuses milk, feed the Hydra-Lyte solution and resume feeding the milk or milk replacer at the next scheduled feeding. On the third and fourth day provide one quart Hydra-Lyte solution mixed with one quart of either milk or milk replacer to each calf or foal two times each day. Lambs and kids will require about one fourth of the above amount.
Most animals can be returned to normal feeding on the fifth day, but supplementation can be continued on the fifth through seventh day.
Note: In cases when extra supplementation is needed or in large neonatal animals, two quarts of Hydra-Lyte solution should be provided to each calf or foal four times each day for the first two days. One fourth this amount is required for lambs and kids. Use the same regimen for the third and fourth days as recommended above.
Ingredients: Dextrose, sodium acetate, potassium chloride, glycine, sodium citrate, sodium chloride.
