electrolytes

I have 2 questions:
1. If you mix electrolytes & probi with water and oil about 1 hour
before using them, does the salt destroy the probi?
2. We used to be told not to give electrolytes unless the horse was
drinking & eating. On a recent ride a horse quit eating and drinking,
but the rider was advised to give electrolytes (double dose) because he
wasn't dehydrated, even though he hadn't been drinking. He had been
given electrolytes prior to the ride and at the first check. What do
you all think?
Thanks.
