Excellent product for my doggies if they’re unwell and dehydrated
Fantastic to use for rehydration my dog after & during his competitions.
Very good product
Great product for dehydrated motherless lambs, i would suggest though, when administering this product, that it be easier to use a stomach tube as drench gun is too tricky with such small animals. 150ml is also a lot to do through a drench gun in and out of the lambs mouth, as 10-15ml is all they can handle at one time...
After my dog had a knee operation, for alter patella, he is only 1yr old. he was off his food and fluids, he didn't go for a pee for almost 12 hours at a time and his pee was obviously very concentrated. Thanks to lectade, we made a bowl for him as we had kept this sachet from when he had a upset tummy, he drank the whole bowl and had a pee within the next 30 minutes, We still give him this occasionally when he doesn't drink much and he loves it.
Lectade Sachets when reconstituted as directed provide an oral rehydration therapy containing a balanced mixture of glucose, glycine and electrolytes with the added advantage of being a non-antibiotic oral supportive treatment.
Once diluted Lectade Solution is isotonic, ensuring glucose and glycine are actively absorbed by the intestinal tract, causing water and sodium to be absorbed simultaneously with these nutrients and resulting in a high degree of rehydration in scouring and dehydrated animals.
Where specific disease control (i.e. antibiotic therapy) is indicated, it can be administered in conjunction with Lectade Solution.
Indicated for:
Directions for Use:
For oral treatment only.
Sections A and B must always be used together when preparing Lectade Solution.
Add the contents of section A and B of one Lectade Sachet to 2 litres of warm water, stir until dissolved.
To make 500 mL of Lectade Solution: using a 5 mL medicine spoon add 1 level spoonful of section A and 3 heaped spoonfuls of section B to 500 mL warm water, stir until dissolved, store remainder of powder in a dry place.
Most dogs find Lectade Solution palatable and will drink it voluntarily. Palatability for cats is variable.
Lectade Solution may also be administered orally via syringe.
Continue treatment for 1 to 2 days after the animal appears clinically recovered and is feeding normally.
