Virbac Bectyl Oral Paste is an electrolyte replacement paste for horses, supplied in an 18g single-dose syringe. It's aimed at performance and working horses to support rehydration and recovery after heavy sweating from exercise, travel, or hot weather. Suits horses of all breeds and sizes when electrolyte support is needed.

The paste is scientifically balanced to replace the key electrolytes lost through sweat — a performance horse can lose anywhere from 10 to 60 litres of sweat a day. Bectyl is formulated to encourage drinking and restore fluid balance, helping counter the fatigue and drop in performance that dehydration causes. The oral syringe format makes accurate dosing straightforward at the stable or float.

Owners keep Bectyl on hand for competition days, long transport, and hot summer work. It's a targeted top-up rather than a daily supplement — used when a horse has genuinely sweated hard and needs a fast route back to balance.
