Fast answer: Hydro-Lyte® belongs to the hydration/electrolyte/gut-support checklist. Fluid Flex EQ® belongs to the daily joint-support/mobility checklist. Both require observation and neither replaces professional care.

Hydration checklist

  • Water offered and water actually consumed.
  • Salt access and normal feed routine.
  • Manure, appetite, attitude, and gum feel.
  • Heat, humidity, sweat, hauling, and changed water.
  • Hydro-Lyte® when the routine calls for electrolyte and gut support.

Mobility checklist

  • Walk-out quality before work and next morning.
  • Warm-up time and willingness to reach, turn, stop, back, or climb.
  • Hard ground, hauling, stall time, age, and repeated work.
  • Feet, shoeing, hoof heat, digital pulse, and one-sided changes.
  • Fluid Flex EQ® when a daily mobility-support routine fits.

Do not checklist over a real problem

Call a veterinarian or farrier for lameness, colic signs, heat illness, hoof pain, severe swelling, depression, fever, abnormal manure, not drinking, or sudden changes.
