poodle proud Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 My two are a little under the weather. Osca has diarrhoea and it has been a little explosive overnight and Midnight vomited once yesterday (but that was 20min after swallowing a grub whole) and has had some diarrhoea off and on for a few days. They are both sleeping a lot today but neither have had vomiting or diarrhoea so far today. I have previously been given VYTRATE calf and pig scour treatment. Can anyone tell me how to dose this for my two? Osca is about 6kg and middi is 2.5kg. Also what else could I get for them? I read inner health plus could help. is it one capsule daily no matter how much they weigh? Any info would help. Thankyou P.S If they deteriorate they will be at the vets in a flash but I am not that concerned at the moment. I just want to help their tummy's settle and keep them hydrated while I monitor them.

Stitch Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Any sign of diahorrea in my dogs and I withhold food for 24 hours and offer Lectade. After that I give them a bland diet for a few days until they are back to normal. Lectade is for scouring in many animals and is an electrolyte replacement. You just mix two different powders together at the advised rate so it helps to rehydrate the animal. I have been known to syringe Lectade down their throats if the need arises but most dogs will drink it willingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mix the two satchets. For Pigs you just make it available to them but for calves its a particular dosage per kg of bodyweight. Do you just offer the lectade in their bowls? And does it keep in the fridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
