RE: [RC] thinking of switching from lyte now electrolyte paste - suggestions? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMThe PNW is more dilute than most (not sure specifically about EnduraLyte) and I think most of the adverse effects of upset tummies come from using too concentrated a solution at one time, so I like PNW myself. So if you're going to syringe at all, try just giving a half dose or even less, and dosing more frequently. I think that works better, then also add a sprinkle to the mash, onto the hay, into the water, darn near every place you can think of to sprinkle just a little, plus offer some by itself on the side when you can. I know, I know, some people don't think you should syringe at all. Fine. I do. I like it in small, frequent doses, but that's JMO. I've seen the elytes mixed with yogurt, vanilla pudding, applesauce, plain water, Gatorade, pureed carrots, cake frosting, pancake syrup, watered down molasses and corn syrup. I think the best choice is whatever your horse likes without giving you a dirty look afterwards. JMO.
