Dear Tom, I hope your keeping well. If possible can you explain the correct use of the above lets say for example after a race. After there run you give them electrolytes to replace the minerals etc what they lose, then they go home and you feed etc. when is the flusher given-as some people give in there night fed-then i was thinking you give them electrolytes at say 9pm after race and then you give flusher 2 hours later-are you not just removing everything that you tried to get into them. would like your advice on the correct usage,JD

I’m sorry Jim but in my opinion giving a greyhound a so called “flusher is the worst thing you can do to the poor dog, and as far as electrolyte mixtures are concerned they are seldom necessary if a healthy diet is provided and the trainer is sensible in how the dog is worked.

Have a read of this post..... STRESS WHAT IS IT? WHAT DOES IT CAUSE? AND WHY?

Everything that happens to a greyhound can only happen because of an action or inaction by its carer, so don’t blame the greyhound when it all goes wrong.
