The Life-Aid Xtra high energy rehydration powder from Norbrook is an oral rehydration therapy designed for the treatment of dehydration, electrolyte loss and acidosis associated with scour in calves. The Life-Aid Xtra is specially formulated to increase sodium levels for rapid absorption of water and provide glucose to give the calf the extra energy it needs for recovery, without impacting on the rehydration process. Increased bicarbonate levels help to combat any acidosis which may occur.
To prepare the Life-Aid Xtra solution for dosing, dissolve one sachet of powder into 2 litres of warm water.
