Re-Sorb Electrolyte Supplement for Scouring Calves 64 grams

Description

The 3 main causes of calf scours and resulting dehydration are bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella, etc.), viruses, and nutritional factors. In all cases, there is a loss of water and electrolytes due to the scours, which can lead to severe dehydration and death. Generally, whatever the cause of the scours, dehydration is the main cause of death. When fecal loss of water exceeds the water intake, dehydration occurs. This can be corrected with administration of either oral or intravenous fluids. In the severely dehydrated calf, intravenous administration is the route of choice. Oral rehydration is of particular value as it permits the livestock owner to start rehydration therapy at the initial signs of scours which, in many cases, will reduce the severity of the condition

The 3 main causes of calf scours and resulting dehydration are bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella, etc.), viruses, and nutritional factors. In all cases, there is a loss of water and electrolytes due to the scours, which can lead to severe dehydration and death. Generally, whatever the cause of the scours, dehydration is the main cause of death. When fecal loss of water exceeds the water intake, dehydration occurs. This can be corrected with administration of either oral or intravenous fluids. In the severely dehydrated calf, intravenous administration is the route of choice. Oral rehydration is of particular value as it permits the livestock owner to start rehydration therapy at the initial signs of scours which, in many cases, will reduce the severity of the condition. Re-Sorb also provides the owner with a practical method of following up intravenous therapy. Re-Sorb formula contains the following ingredients: sodium chloride 8.82 grams, potassium phosphate 4.2 grams, citric acid, anhydrous 0.5 grams, potassium citrate 0.12 grams, aminoacetic acid (glycine) 6.36 grams and glucose 44 grams. Osmolarity of the reconstituted solution is approximately 315 mOsm/kg. The pH of the reconstituted solution is approximately 4.3.
Cautions and Warnings
RE-SORB should not be used in animals with severe dehydration (down comatose or in a state
of shock). Such animals need intravenous fluids since oral therapy in these cases is too slow. A veterinarian
should be consulted in such severely scouring calves or in cases requiring antibacterial therapy.
Antibacterial therapy is often indicated in bacterial scours due to E. coli and/or Salmonella. RE-SORB does
not contain antibacterial agents.
Adequate colostrum intake during the first 12 hours is essential for healthy vigorous calves.
RE-SORB is not nutritionally complete if administered by itself for long periods of time. It should not be
administered beyond the recommended treatment period without the addition of milk or milk replacer.
Warning(s): For use in calves only.
Keep out of reach of children.
