Can you give a dog pedialyte if they have been vomiting and you want to rehydrate them?

    The best thing to do is starve them for 24 hours to empty their digestive tract and start feeding them on a very light diet chicken , rice for about 3 days.

    To rehydrate them use a electrolyte soulution (pedialyte is one of these) however it is best they drink it themselves as this could cause more vomiting. Please make sure you offer a normal bowl of water next to this one as some do not like the taste adding to the rehydration problems.

    Chicken bovril is another good one however this may cause more vomiting  - please stop the aim is to cease the vomiting. If Bentely does not stop vomiting after 12 hours please contact your local veterinary surgeon
