Can I give a diabetic dog pedialyte?
absolutely!! i'm 28, been working in auto shops for 6 years and was diagnosed 4 months ago with type 1. pedialyte has been an absolute lifesaver!! i used to survive on gatorade, 2-3 liters a day. that's too much sugar for being insulin dependent. i switched to pedialyte and the walmart brand (which tastes awful at first, definitely an acquired taste) but works just as well and without the excessive sugars found in sports drinks (25g carbs/liter in pedialyte vs about 65g carbs/liter in gatorade). i started diluting pedialyte with water to about 50/50 which seems to be just as effective to help against dehydration.

What disease has excess vomit and dehydration in dogs?
hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is one such disease. I just went through it with my dog who has been on NSIDs for 4 years due to his advanced elbow and hip arthritis. It is a potential complication of this type of therapy. There will sometimes be be traces of blood in the vomit and stool. It will dehydrate your dog very quickly. If you can't get to the vet right away, do this: stop feeding the dog so his stomach has a chance to calm down and the vomitting and resulting fluid loss slows. Over the counter Pepsid will also help lower the acid level and calm the gut. Your dog can go days without a meal, but not very long while low on fluids. Dehydration can cause kidney and liver failure if it gets out of hand. Administer pedialyte at a rate of 2-4 cc (or mls, they are the same), per pound of body weight, per hour to slowly rehydrate the dog. The internet has many sites that have detailed descriptions of what canine dehydration looks like. If the dog shows signs of dehydration in the gums, eyes and skin, get to the vet ASAP.

What dehyrates dogs?
Dehydration is excess loss of body fluids. Usually it involves loss of both water and electrolytes, which are minerals such as sodium, chloride and potassium. During illness, dehydration may be caused by an inadequate fluid intake. Fever increases the loss of water. This becomes significant if the dog does not drink enough to offset it. Other common causes of dehydration are prolonged vomiting and diarrhea.One sign of dehydration is loss of skin elasticity. When the skin along the back is picked up into a fold, it should spring back into place. In dehydration, the skin stays up in a ridge. Another sign is dryness of the mouth. Late signs are sunken eyes and circulatory collapse.Treatment: If your dog is noticeably dehydrated, you should seek veterinary attention. Treatment is directed at replacing fluids and preventing further losses.Loss of skin elasticity in severe dehydration. Note intravenous fluids, which are of extreme importance.- Loss of skin elasticity in severe dehydration. Note intravenous fluids, which are of extreme importance.In mild cases without vomiting, fluids can be given by mouth. If the dog won't drink, you can give an electrolyte solution into the cheek pouch by bottle or medicine syringe (see APPENDIX). Balanced electrolyte solutions for treating dehydration in children are available at drug stores. Ringer's lactate, mixed half and half with 5% dextrose in water, and a solution called Pedialyte are suitable for dogs. They are given at the rate of two to four cc per pound body weight per hour depending upon the severity of the dehydration (or as directed by your veterinarian).The treatment of dehydration in infant puppies is discussed in PEDIATRICS:Common Feeding Problems.
