How to Use
Administering ORALADE GI SUPPORT SYRUP to your pets is a straightforward process, designed to cater to their specific hydration and nutritional needs. Here's a detailed guide to help you use this supplement effectively, ensuring your pet receives the optimal benefits:
Determining the Right Amount:
Cats/Kittens/Puppies (<4kg): Administer up to 50 ml/kg over a 24-hour period. This means for a pet weighing 4kg, the maximum daily intake should be around 200 ml.
Small Dogs (4 - 10kg): Provide 44 ml/kg per day. For a 10kg dog, this equates to a daily volume of 200 - 450 ml.
Medium Dogs (10 - 25kg): The recommended amount is 33 ml/kg per 24 hours. For a 25kg dog, the daily volume should be between 450 - 825 ml.
Large Dogs (25 - 45kg): Administer 30 ml/kg per day. For a 45kg dog, this means a daily intake of 825 - 1350 ml.
Extra Large Dogs (45 - 60kg): Provide 26 ml/kg over a 24-hour period, equating to 1350 - 1560 ml for a 60kg dog.
Adjusting for Specific Needs:
The above guidelines are based on maintenance volumes. Actual requirements may vary depending on the age, breed, and activity level of your pet.
Consider additional or ongoing fluid losses when determining the right amount.
Microenteral Nutrition via Feeding Tube:
For pets requiring feeding tubes, start with 0.25 - 0.5 ml/kg/hr for the first 4 hours.
Increase the amount by 50% every subsequent 4 hours, tailoring it to your pet's response and needs.
Method of Administration:
ORALADE GI SUPPORT SYRUP can be given directly using a measuring cup or syringe, or added to your pet's water bowl.
For pets with decreased appetite or those requiring special care, consult your veterinarian for the best method of administration.
Consulting a Veterinarian:
While ORALADE GI SUPPORT SYRUP is designed for safe use, it's always recommended to consult with a veterinarian, especially for pets with specific health conditions or dietary needs.
A professional can provide tailored advice and adjustments to the feeding guide based on your pet's unique health profile.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your pet receives the right amount of ORALADE GI SUPPORT SYRUP, providing them with essential hydration and gut support. Remember, Animeal always encourages pet owners to seek professional veterinary advice for the best care of their furry friends.
