iO Electrolyte Powder for Horses iO Electrolyte Powder is a nutritional supplement to assist in maintaining and restoring the animal’s normal electrolyte balance where level may be low in body tissues during heavy exercise and in hot weather conditions.

Usually thirst/drinking is stimulated within 3-4 hours after dosing. Horses administered any form of electrolytes need to be consuming adequate water. Electrolytes should never be force fed to a dehydrated horse, and any horses supplemented with electrolytes should be monitored for dehydration (skin pinch test, mucous membrane color and hydration, capillary refill).
