Canine and Feline Dosing Guidelines

Bacterial Conditions

Dermal, Respiratory, and Enteric (Acute or Chronic)

For support, you can use Complete+ Immune Support Powder at a dosage of 1 serving for every 25 lbs. of body weight daily. To begin with, it is recommended to start this treatment early during illness as a standalone therapy. This approach allows for 7-10 days to observe results. Alternatively, you can use it as an adjunctive therapy alongside your usual treatment protocols.

Based on our experience, Professional Care products are designed to help accelerate healing, reduce the duration of illness, and decrease the likelihood of recurrence. Moreover, you might consider using this product for conditions such as pneumonia, pyodermas, otitis externa, sinusitis, acute and chronic enterocolitis, and chronic interdigital furunculosis.

In cases of more severe conditions, you should double the dosage or switch to Professional Care products for enhanced support.

Diabetes

Dogs and Cats

To effectively manage diabetes in your canine or feline companion, you should begin by incorporating Complete+ Immune Support Powder. Specifically, administer 1 serving for every 25 pounds of body weight each day.

In addition to the supplementation, starting traditional insulin therapy is crucial. This will help regulate blood sugar levels. It’s also vital to implement a suitable diet tailored to their needs. By following these steps, you’ll take a comprehensive approach to maintain your pet’s health and well-being.

Demodicosis

Treatment Guidelines

Immune supplementation can be safely integrated alongside traditional anti-demodex and antibiotic therapies. Moreover, we frequently observe that when we enhance the patient’s immune capabilities, there is an improved response to conventional treatments.

For Canine Demodicosis, if the case is simple or localized, it is recommended to administer Complete+ Immune Support Powder. Specifically, the dosage should be one serving per 25 pounds of body weight daily until the condition is resolved, which typically requires 3 to 4 weeks. In addition, provide antibiotics as necessary, and it may be wise to reconsider the treatment plan if there is no noticeable response.

Conversely, for generalized or chronic cases, it is important to begin the appropriate anti-demodex and antibiotic therapy. Alongside this, you should prescribe Professional Care products at a dosage of one serving per 20 pounds of body weight daily.

On the other hand, when addressing Feline Demodicosis, initiate the necessary anti-demodex and antibiotic therapy. In addition, you should offer Complete+ Immune Support Powder at a dosage of one serving per 25 pounds of body weight daily.

Fungal Infections

Dermal and Systemic

Immune supplementation is not only safe to use alongside topical or systemic antifungal therapies but is also recommended due to the often immunocompromised state of patients suffering from fungal infections. Therefore, it is advisable to continue immune support until the infection has resolved clinically. Furthermore, if relapses are observed, long-term immune support may be beneficial.

When addressing dermatophytosis, in addition to traditional therapy, it is important to administer Complete+ Immune Support Powder at a dosage of 1 serving for every 25 lbs. of body weight daily. If, however, there is no response to this treatment, you can either double the dose or switch to Professional Care products, providing 1 serving per 20 lbs. of body weight daily.

On the other hand, for systemic mycoses, it is essential to use Professional Care products in conjunction with traditional therapy at a dosage of 1 serving per 20 lbs. of body weight daily. In cases of severe systemic infections, you should administer two servings per 20 lbs. of body weight daily.

FeLV and FIV

FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)

In addition to traditional therapeutic and supportive care, it is recommended to prescribe Professional Care products at a rate of one serving per 20 pounds daily. Furthermore, it is important to note that the response to immune support may take several weeks, particularly in these immune-compromised patients.

Additionally, for those experiencing decreased appetites, you can grind the tablets and administer them via syringe feeding. For more advanced therapy options, it is advisable to consult with the Ramaekers Nutrition Staff Veterinarians.

Ultimately, the objective is to provide strong nutritional support and immune modulation, while also improving gut health and enhancing bone marrow health.

Tumors: General Therapy Concepts

General Concepts of Tumor Therapy

1. Use Professional Care products for all neoplastic conditions at 1 to 2 times the labeled dose.
2. Always obtain an appropriate tissue biopsy and staging for accurate diagnosis.
3. Recommend immune supplementation prior to surgical excision, chemotherapy, or radiation treatment to assess the response of the specific cell type in the individual patient at the specific site with the chosen supplement.
4. If the clinical presentation allows, allow up to 3 weeks for a response, as it is assumed that all patients with tumors experience some degree of chronic immune incompetence.
5. Long-term immune support is considered necessary, potentially for life.
6. After 6 to 8 weeks of successful therapy, consider reducing the labeled dose or implementing pulse dosing for 4 to 5 days each week.

Tumors: Dermal, Subcutaneous, Palpable Deep Tissue, Oral Cavity, and Rectal

Types:** Dermal, Subcutaneous, Palpable Deep Tissue, Oral Cavity, and Rectal

To effectively assess the tumor, first obtain a proper tissue biopsy. Next, measure the dimensions of the mass accurately. Allow three weeks to evaluate the tumor’s response, if applicable. After that, proceed with traditional oncology therapies as needed.

Moreover, surgical excision is often facilitated by tumor shrinkage, which allows for clearer demarcation of tissue margins.

Tumors: Systemic, Body Cavity, Intra-organ, and Metastatic

Understanding Tumors: A Comprehensive Look at Systemic, Body Cavity, Intra-organ, and Metastatic Forms

The fundamental concepts of immune support apply to all types of tumors; however, it is important to note that earlier and more aggressive traditional therapies may often be necessary. Consequently, making treatment decisions requires extensive discussions with pet owners to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Furthermore, traditional multimodal therapy plans are typically recommended. This is because immune support plays a crucial role in enhancing the patient’s overall well-being, improving their response to treatment, and ultimately reducing the risk of recurrence after remission.

Autoimmune and Immune-Mediated Conditions

Dosing Guidelines for Autoimmune and Immune-Mediated Conditions

For early or mild immune conditions, it is advisable to use Complete+ Immune Support Powder. Conversely, for more advanced or serious immune conditions, you should administer Professional Care products. Begin both treatments at the labeled dose; then, gradually increase to the full dose over a period of 7 to 10 days.

Moreover, immune support is safe to use alongside immune-suppressive or modulating medications. In addition, immune support can often be considered an initial treatment option for non-life-threatening conditions. However, it is important to allow three weeks to evaluate the clinical response and monitor closely as needed.

Furthermore, consider using immune support for various conditions such as Immune Dermal Vasculitis, Pemphigus, lupus-like conditions, Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA), Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (ITP), Polyarthritis, Lymphocytic-Plasmocytic Stomatitis, and Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex.

Managing Stress in Animals

Dosing Guidelines for Managing Stress in Animals

Travel, shows, agility competitions, boarding, and surgeries can be stressful experiences for pets. To help support their well-being during these times, consider using Animal Stress Pack, Livestock Stress Pack, or Complete+ Immune Support Powder.

Administer one serving for every 25 pounds of your pet’s weight. It’s recommended to start giving this supplement three days before the anticipated stressful event, continue during the event, and maintain it for three days afterward. This approach can help bolster your pet’s immune system and ease their transition through challenging situations.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Non-Effusive Form

Non-Effusive Form of Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)

To ensure optimal care, it is important to provide Complete+ Immune Support Powder at a dosage of one serving for every 25 pounds of body weight each day. This specially formulated powder not only enhances immune function but also promotes overall health.

Furthermore, it is recommended to use Professional Care products in conjunction with traditional therapeutic methods and supportive care. By doing so, you will ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet’s well-being.

Feline Hyperthyroidism

Feline Hyperthyroidism

For the management of feline hyperthyroidism, it is important to administer Complete+ Immune Support Powder. Specifically, you should give one serving for every 25 pounds of body weight, once daily.

Moreover, this specialized supplement is designed to provide exceptional immune support and vital nutrition to cats suffering from chronic debilitation. As a result, such cats are often vulnerable to subclinical infections due to their weakened immune systems. Therefore, providing this comprehensive support can significantly help bolster their health and resilience.

Ferrets

Ferrets

When caring for ferrets, it is important to choose the right supplement based on their specific health condition. For instance, if your ferret is experiencing mild to moderate issues, you can administer Complete+ Immune Support Powder, which is specifically formulated to boost immune function.

On the other hand, for more severe conditions, you might consider using Professional Care products, as they offer targeted support. Additionally, always refer to the dosage guidelines appropriate for cats, since these can be adapted for ferrets based on their size and weight.
