Gettin Jiggy Wit It Posts: 2734	Has any one ever used the electrolyte paste specially formulated for horses on lasix? Kentucky Equine Research has done a few studies on the amount of time it takes for a horse to recover from the use of lasix. They found that horses continue to loose calcium and electrolytes over the course of the next few days after they were dosed with lasix and can not recover proper levels from other sources of foods in their diet. I just bought some of their race recovery paste and powder to try. I was wondering if anyone eles uses this? Its a little pricy with how you are supposed to dose it but I am hoping it is worth it since lasix can be hard on our horse.

It has ingredients from bleeder stop, electrolytes and lung support so it is a 3 in 1!!! It's been a huge hit and we can barely keep it in stock.

You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	i thought when i read that paper was that horses did replenish their electrolytes but they continued to lose them for longer than they expected, and it small doses of lasix caused the same amount go diuresis as large amounts. I'm sure if you follow up with basic electrolytes you should be fine, but I like that theres a product tailored for lasix.

Expert Posts: 2604 Location: Texas	I tried it. Couldn't get my horse to eat the powder and he hated the paste! And yes, it gets pretty expensive giving it as they recommend.

Gettin Jiggy Wit It Posts: 2734	I liked the paste. I did find smart packs pelleted electrolytes is comparable on the levels and combination of ingredients. I feed that like I would the race recovery. My horse eats it really well since it is pelleted.
