Product Description
Lectade is an oral rehydration therapy that helps restore hydration and electrolyte balance in animals suffering from dehydration or diarrhoea. It contains a balanced mix of glucose, glycine and electrolytes that support water and sodium absorption in the gut, making it effective for recovery after scours, travel stress or illness. Lectade can be offered to dogs, cats and young farm animals either as a palatable drink they’ll drink voluntarily, or administered via syringe if needed. Prepare the solution as directed, offer it in frequent small amounts and continue for a day or two after recovery to support full rehydration and wellbeing.
