Re: [RC] [RC] Hard to syringe horse - Jennifer Fleet

I now mix e-lytes, bute, or anything else I need to get in my horse with maple syrup.  It's a lot less messy than spooning applesauce in.  I just squirt in a little syrup into the syringe, then the elytes or whatever, then a little more syrup, put the plunger in and shake it up to mix.
 
My guy seems to like the syrup taste.

Our grocery stores are now carrying Carrot Juice in the salad section and our horses now really look forward to their electrolytes mixed with carrot juice. It has a very thin consistency, so you can't give it all at once or it will just pour back out.

The other thing I do is after administering elytes, I fill up the syringe with water and rinse their mouths out a little.

I've been using one of the "guns" for a year or so now and find it much
easier to use than a syringe. It's smaller and though has a metal tip,
much smoother on the horses mouth, and with the pressure it's pretty easy
to get it in them. One horse in particular really hates the whole
process but is much easier to dose with the gun.
