The solution does not interfere with milk digestion and can be given to suckling and milk fed calves. Milk deprivation is unnecessary if the calf is willing to drink. Calves that refuse milk should be given electrolytes only. As they recover, re-introduce milk and decrease gradually the amount of electrolyte solution. If no improvement is seen within 2 or 3 days consult your veterinarian.

V-Lytes Cautions

Do not use in cases of upper gastrointestinal obstruction or in severely sick animals where parenteral (or alternate) therapy is indicated.
