From previous posts, I'm betting some of you guys have recipes for homemade electrolytes. Anyone care to share those recipes???

Hello Cedar, here are a few recipes...
1) combine: 1 can beef consomme, 1 pkg. fruit pectin, 2 tsp. low sodium salt, 2 tsp. baking soda, and add enough warm water to total 2 quarts.

2) combine: 1 can beef consomme, 3 cans warm water, and 1 heaping tbsp. baking soda.

3) combine: 1 tbsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. salt and 8 oz. 50%dextrose or 8 oz. light karo syrup, and add enough warm water to total 1 gallon.

Do not overfeed. Up to 1qt. of any of these recipes every 3-4 hrs. They can be used as the only source of nutrients for a period of 24-48 hrs. You are not supposed to use milk or milk replacers during this time.

Hope this helps. Just a few ideas you can try. I have heard of "Gator-Aide" powerdered mis is also good, but have not tried it.
