The general response from my searches through the forum was a pedialyte soak, unfortunately pedialyte unflavoured is not available in Australia and I am getting desperate. I can order it online but I am worried it won't arrive in time.

Does anyone have a substitute for pedialyte I can give him in the meantime?

Thanks so much!

Hi,
I found this on Melbourn Hospital/ pediatric area online.
Gastrolyte,Hydralyte, Pedialyte and Repalyte

Kids Health Info

see "Clear fluids"

If they are identical ? it should be ( unflavored ) a 1:10 ( pedi: distilled water)

I think you should find a vet asap . Keep him separate form the others animals, of course
I'm sorry he is sick

You could PM Kristen. However, I think she in the Melbourne area?
