I was wondering just why they were suggesting to dilute the pedialyte and to soak her. I basically figured that by soaking her she'd be somewhat forced to drink some of it. I was also wondering why after 1 regurg, only due to a food item too large, she would be that dehydrated. It commonly happens in nature, especially if they just ate and feel threatened. All they'll do at that point is to go find a stream or something to get water from.
I did rinse her off after I soaked her the one time, I didn't think it would be that great to leave the pedialyte on her body.
We live on the outskirts of town and we are actually on an artesian well, so I just give him water out of the tap. No water softener or anything, it's just pure underground spring water. (to me it's better than bottled water you buy.)
