[RC] Why Wouldn't We? - k s swigart

Richard Allen said:

There was a fully-equipped clinic on site and we took
advantage of the offer to have our horse rehydrated
even though her metabolics were all A's. Why wouldn't we?

Because like all invasive medical procedures, an IV drip is not without
its risks.  To do it when the horse is metabolicly stable and can
rehydrate itself may be taking an unnecessary risk.
