My one bun (a 3.5-lb. Mini Rex) has been on sub-Q's for a while; she's been dealing with a tough stasis issue.
The vet has had me keep her on sub-Q's; now she's showing signs of a possible electrolyte imbalance--specifically licking the walls and chewing on baseboards.
I want to give her electrolytes but am uncertain how much to give her and for how long. Also how do you know when you've given them long enough? (Should the wall-licking behavior stop, for example?)
I'm going out today to try to find sugar-free/non-flavored Pedialyte (or some such brand). (To date, the best I could find is non-flavored Pedialyte with dextrose.)
Thank you,
Jenk
