Aptus APTOBALANCE PET powder 140 g

Description

APTUS® APTOBALANCE PET powder
Aptobalance's lactobacilli multiply in the intestines and lower the pH of the intestines. The number of benign bacteria increases, thus decreasing the living conditions of pathogenic bacteria. Pectin protects the intestines' mucosa. Seaweed has high amounts of essential micronutrients.

Instructions for use
Aptobalance is used in intestinal disorders caused by changes in a cat's or dog's diet, during weaning, during treatment with antibiotics to revive the microbes of the intestines and during travel.

Dosage
For dogs, 1–3 measuring spoons and for cats 0.5–1 measuring spoons per day for 2–5 days mixed with food, low-lactose milk or sour milk. If the intestinal disorder is severe, the dose may be doubled for 3–4 days. Make sure that the pet suffering from diarrhoea is given sufficient amounts of fluid, a minimum of 0.5–1 dl per kg per day. A measuring spoon equals 2 g.

Powder 180 g (measuring spoon 2 g).
Seek immediate veterinary advice in severe cases or if the pet's condition gets worse or if the signs persist.
