title: Treatment of exercise-induced dehydration.
abstract: One of the most common consequences of prolonged exercise is fluid and electrolyte depletion. Fluid and electrolyte losses during exercise may limit the horse's performance and, in extreme cases, jeopardize its health. To avoid or treat the deleterious effects of dehydration, fluid and electrolyte supplementation is essential. This article provides recommendations for fluid and electrolyte supplementation for horses involved in endurance-related events.
