Is there anything you can give a dog to rebalance electrolytes?

Advertisements [?]

My dog is rather sick and has been vommitting and having diarrhea. Initially, I let him rehydrate with water, but that seemed to make him vommitt more. I took the water away for several hours, but let him have a small amount a little bit ago.
For humans, they usually recommend pedilyte or gatorade to help restore electrolytes and prevent them from being out of balance due to digestive purgings. Is it healthy to give those things to dogs?
