In our own veterinary practice, EOR strips are used daily to support equine patients in a variety of scenarios, including:

• After sedation: Use EOR strips post-procedure to support hydration and help horses recover smoothly. Sedation can impact a horse’s willingness to drink — oral strips offer a low-stress way to encourage fluid intake and metabolic recovery.
  
• Colic and early GI discomfort: When a horse is showing early signs of colic or reduced gut sounds, EOR can be applied to help support water intake during those critical early hours.
  
• Post-hauling and exertion: Ideal for horses arriving at your clinic after transport or strenuous activity. Rehydration and recovery begin with a single strip.
  
• At-home follow-up care: EOR strips are easy for clients to apply themselves, making them a great discharge supplement when hydration and nutrient support are recommended.

A recent study showed that horses given EOR strips drank more water—a simple but powerful shift that can improve everything from attitude to performance. Many customers report using EOR strips during long hauls, after intense training, or when their horse just isn’t drinking like usual.
