WHEN AND WHERE IS DOGGYRADE PRO USED ?
DoggyRade Pro can be used for both outpatients and inpatients in a
veterinary clinic. A dog with a typical, mild case of gastroenteritis or
other illnesses can be given DoggyRade Pro to drink at home.
Hospitalised patients can be given DoggyRade Pro from day one of their
illness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS TARGETED APPROACH ?
Anorexia is common in sick or seriously injured patients. Anorexia
rapidly leads to gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal atrophy, decreased GI
motility, pancreatic atrophy and cholestasis. Early nutrition helps
maintain normal GI function and contributes to good recovery.
HOW DOES DOGGRYADE PRO HELP ?
DoggyRade Pro encourages maintenance of normal GI function, helps with
healing and allows a smoother and earlier transition back to a normal
diet. Many sick or seriously injured patients will not voluntarily eat
or may not tolerate normal diets, which prolongs their hospital stays.
DoggyRade Pro can help prepare the intestine for normal food intake
HOW DO I ADMINISTER DOGGYRADE PRO ?
Because DoggyRade Pro is highly palatable, many patients will voluntarily
drink it even in the face of mild nausea. DoggyRade Pro can also be
administered orally using a normal syringe. Because of the significant
benefits of this targeted nutrition approach, tube feeding
(nasoesophageal or nasogastric) should be considered if the patient will
not voluntarily drink or eat in the first 12 hours following admission
to the hospital.
DO I NEED TO ADJUST THE IV FLUID RATE WHEN USING DOGGYRADE PRO ?
We recommend that the clinician use whatever IV fluid rate they would
normally use and not try to subtract for the volume of DRP. The
administration of DoggyRade Pro will contribute 1-2 ml/kg/hr at the
recommended rates. However, this is intestinal rather than intravenous
and will not significantly impact the IV fluid rates required.
CAN I ADMINISTER DOGGYRADE PRO WITH A SYRINGE PUMP ?
DoggyRade Pro has a very low viscosity, and we have found that it flows
well with most syringe pumps. However, syringe pumps that are designed
for crystalloid intravenous solutions are known to be very sensitive and
an enteral feeding pump may be required.
CAN HEALTHY DOGS DRINK DOGGYRADE PRO ?
Yes, there is no issue.
DOES DOGGYRADE PRO ACT AS AN ANTI INFLAMATORY ?
No. The only anti-inflammatory impact could be through a better-balanced microflora.
