Baking soda is known as sodium bicarbonate in the science and medical world. When put into solution baking soda “turns into” sodium and bicarbonate ions, both of which are electrolytes. Electrolytes are important because they help the body retain water and are essential for proper nerve and muscle function.

The above recipe will restore the following electrolytes:
Sodium (Na+)
Potassium (K+)
Chloride (Cl-)
Bicarbonate (HCO3-)

The sugar will provide glucose and dextrose. In the body, simple sugars (like glucose and dextrose) are broken down to form ATP molecules which provide energy for cells.

Thanks for the recipe. We had to take care of some baby squirrels this past weekend until a wildlife rehabilitation person could come to get them. After about 12 hours of giving them a few drops of the homemade pedialyte every hour they seemed a lot more lively and were able to eat the recommended Esbilac puppy milk replacer formula.

Thanks!

I also freeze it like the pedialyte popsicles, sometimes that goes down better when he won’t drink & helps with a fever as well.
