DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
1 scoop = 100 ml
Intended for oral administration only. Prepare a fresh solution before each dose, by mixing 1 scoop with 2 L of warm water.
- Upon the first signs of scour, withdraw milk or milk replacer and feed 2 L of the solution twice daily for 2 days (4 feeds).
- For the next 2 days (4 feeds) use 1 L of solution and 1 L of milk replacer.
- Thereafter resume normal feeding.
- If the scouring is established or severe, causing serious dehydration, the 2 L of solution should be fed 3 - 4 times daily.
- Life-Aid Xtra may be administered on its own for a maximum of 4 days.
A fine deposit of insoluble carrier may remain after dissolving the powder; this does not affect the efficacy of the product. If signs of disease persists or re-appears, consult your veterinary practitioner.
