Flavored electrolytes?

[TimBaumann]

I have a injured button quail chick and bought some electrolytes! I just found out that the electrolyte powder is raspberry flavor! Will this harm the chick or can I just give it anyway! The packet says 5.48 gram for 200ml and this is for humans so should I do half of that or even less since the quail chick is soooooo TINY??

Anyone?

Does it have Iron in it?

 

[TimBaumann]

No. I quote from the pack: "Each sachet contains:"
Sodium chloride
Sodium bicarbonate
Potassium chloride
Dextrose monohydrate
Additives
so no iron! And how much do you think I should give? I read that normal chicken chicks need about half the amount humans need diluted in water so a tiny button chick probably only needs 1/4 of the human amount! It's doing pretty well so far, peeping, jumping around and sleeping a lot so only a very small amount of electrolytes should probably be enough to give it a tiny boost!

I would try asking in the quail section. They might be more sensitive then chickens when it comes to vitamins.

ok I do that! I'll send a pm to the quail lady! She seems to know a lot about this stuff!
Thanks for helping I really appreciate it!
