sounds about what I read Kirsteen, but unfortunately, I can't get it here, so I will probably get in some Diaralyte and maybe the stuff in Sandy's recipe. Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes and I do know a dog which died from this although it wasn't Parvo it was an overgrowth of proteus or something. dee

Their site says

Without added sweeteners, Pedialyte is not sweet enough for many children to drink. Adding sugar (sucrose) to Pedialyte may make diarrhea worse by drawing water into the intestine, increasing the risk of dehydration. Adding sweeteners like ace K (acesulfame potassium) and sucralose makes Pedialyte taste good without the risks of adding sugar (sucrose).


That's all I know
