Orphan pups, kittens. Dissolve 1 measure powder/3 measures (15 mL) warm water. Feed orphan as much as it will comfortably consume, without forcing as overfeeding may cause diarrhoea. Feed approximately 20% of the animal’s bodyweight (grams) in mL daily. Divide the total daily requirement and feed over 4 to 6 feeds. Total daily feeding guide follows. 100 g bodyweight: 20 mL (? 1 measure powder/15 mL warm water). 150 g bodyweight: 30 mL (? 1.5 measures/22.5 mL warm water). 250 g bodyweight: 50 mL (? 2.5 measures/37.5 mL warm water). 500 g bodyweight: 100 mL (? 5 measures/75 mL warm water).
Pregnant or lactating dogs, cats. Supplement diet with 1 measure/kg bodyweight, particularly during the last 3 weeks of gestation and while lactating.
Convalescing and debilitated animals. Following is a daily feeding guide for Animalac Plus when used as a complete food. 2.5 kg bodyweight (110 calories of energy required/kg bodyweight): 65 g powder daily; 5 kg bodyweight (92 calories/kg): 110 g; 10 kg bodyweight (74 calories/kg): 175 g; 20 kg bodyweight (68 calories/kg): 320 g.
Administration during the first 48 hours after birth if the neonate is not an orphan as this prevents absorption of antibodies from the mother’s milk.
