HEY!You are not going to put a whole bowl of sugar under its tongue!Only enough to reanimate it!!
I dont use Pedyalite I ve already said that on this FORUM!!Pedyalite is not good for small animals like baby turtles or small iguanas.Pedyalite is for human beings.The dose of potassium and sodium is toooo high for small animals!!Can cause heart attack and kidney failure.My opinion was confirmed by my father(he was a doctor) and by a few pharmacists.

:I have been licked by dogs many times, and of course by my iguana too, and their tounges just don't seem as wet as a dog's. The pedialyte that was mentioned is similar to sugar water, but also has added electrolytes I think. I'm not saying the sugar isn't a good idea, just that it may not work as well as it does for mammals...

::I used to do that to reanimate cold and weak new born dogs.It works!!Keep it quiet and warm.
