Vetfuzion Restore
Vetfuzion Restore 400 g – Fast Rehydration & Electrolytes
What is Vetfuzion Restore?
Vetfuzion™ Restore is a white, fully soluble oral rehydration powder formulated for adult ruminants and equines. One 400 g sachet mixed into 20 L of warm water produces an isotonic drench that rapidly corrects electrolyte deficits while the dextrose load boosts energy and palatability.
Why choose Vetfuzion Restore?
Complete electrolyte profile — sodium chloride restores extracellular fluid; potassium chloride reverses hypokalaemia that paralyses rumen muscles; low-level calcium and magnesium keep plasma cations in range.
175 g dextrose (≈ 44 % w/w) gives cows an immediate energy kick and encourages them to drink an extra 20-40 L on their own.
Fast, grit-free mixing — the fine powder dissolves in under a minute and runs freely through Vetfuzion or Selekt pumps without blocking nozzles.
Flexible dosing ladder — label allows one extra sachet (40 L total) for moderate dehydration and two extra (60 L) for severe cases.
Multi-species licence — safe for cows, ewes, goats and horses when used under veterinary guidance.
How it works
Sodium & chloride ions pull water back into the vascular system, restoring blood volume.
Potassium moves into cells, normalising neuromuscular function and rumen contractions.
Calcium & magnesium stabilise muscle tone and enzyme activity, supporting recovery after calving or surgery.
Dextrose fuels sodium-glucose co-transport in the gut for faster water uptake and doubles as a mild ketosis preventative.

Directions & Dosage
| Dehydration level | Mix rate | Total volume delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 1 sachet in 20 L warm water | 20 L |
| Moderate | + 1 sachet in another 20 L | 40 L |
| Severe | + 2 sachets in another 40 L | 60 L |
Administer via drench gun or Vetfuzion cattle pump directly into the rumen. Use 38 °C water to avoid chilling stressed animals.
Protocol tip: After restoring fluid volume, follow with Vetfuzion Off Feed or Antacid if appetite is still low or rumen pH is < 6.0.
Ideal Use-Cases
Fresh-calved cows with low rumen fill
Post-surgical recovery (LDA, C-section)
Transport or heat-stress dehydration
Supportive therapy for mastitis, metritis or downer cows
Safety & Storage
Complementary feed; zero meat or milk withdrawal. Keep sachets tightly sealed, cool and dry. Mix immediately before use to prevent caking.
FAQs
Can I mix Restore with Vetfuzion Antacid?
Yes — but dose the antacid first to correct pH, then Restore 3–4 h later for fluids and electrolytes.
Cold water OK?
Cold solutions slow gut uptake and can chill a sick cow. Always use hand-hot water (~38 °C).
Sheep dose?
Use 75 g per 40 kg live-weight in 5 L warm water via stomach-tube.
