Dosage

Using Vetom 1.1 is not that difficult. To obtain the finished medicine, you need to dilute the purchased powder in warm water. The prepared suspension is measured in quantities that depend on the type and degree of pathology: For preventive measures, 50 mg is prescribed per kilogram of the pet’s weight daily. The course lasts 2-3 weeks. For symptomatic manifestations of dysbacteriosis or other disorders of the digestive system, it is recommended to administer the liquid composition rectally at a dosage of 50 mg/1 kg for 3-5 days from the beginning. The patient is given an enema in advance. Therapy is required for 7 days to improve immunity. The prescribed 50 mg per 1 kg is given twice a day. Infections are fought with the usual 50 mg of Vetom 1.1, but the drug is given to the patient 4 times (every 6 hours). The duration of rehabilitation therapy will be 3-7 days. Contraindications and precautions Among the precautions that must be observed when treating a cat with Vetom 1.1, it is worth noting the following: The powder is diluted in clean water heated to a temperature of 37-40C. In cold water, the composition may not dissolve completely, and in too hot a liquid, the beneficial bacteria will simply cook, and there will be no effect from taking the drug. In addition, hot drinks can burn the cat's respiratory tract. While preparing the drug, a person should not eat or drink. The substance can be mixed into the animal’s food if the cat refuses to lick the substance on its own. Before and after the procedure, you should wash your hands with soap, and if the medicine gets on the mucous membranes, you should rinse them with plenty of water. No unexpected reactions were observed in animals from taking Vetom 1.1. Among the contraindications to the use of the composition is only diabetes mellitus in cats. But almost always the medicinal mixture was well tolerated by the test animals. The only exceptions were the rarest situations when the cat developed an allergy due to intolerance by the body of the hay bacillus.

Who is it suitable for?

Vetom 1.1 was originally developed as a drug for the treatment of human gastrointestinal diseases. But due to the fact that the company-inventor did not have sufficient financial resources, the drug was made for use in veterinary medicine.

For the treatment and prevention of intestinal diseases, Vetom 1.1 is used for the following types of animals:

Pets, ornamental, family pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, parrots, dogs, raccoons, etc.).
Agricultural and productive animals (pigs, chickens, geese, cows, horses, sheep, rabbits, nutria, meat breeds of pigeons, etc.). Moreover, this product is suitable for both adults and young animals (the only difference is in dosages).
Wild animals (squirrels, foxes, etc.).

Find out more about such breeds of pigs as: Karmal, Pietrain, Red-belted, Hungarian Mangalitsa, Vietnamese Pot-bellied, Downy Mangalitsa, Duroc, Mirgorod.

Although Vetom 1.1 is considered a veterinary drug, many people use it to treat human intestinal disorders.

The product is absolutely safe and can cause only minor side reactions if the body is individually intolerant to the strain.

Reviews of the use of Vetom 1.1

Christina

My pet caught fleas and lice on the street. The veterinarian prescribed a course of treatment, and in order to normalize digestion while taking medications, he prescribed Vetom 1.1, saying that it would not be superfluous and would not harm the cat in any way. I bought the medications from the list and was a little surprised at the low cost of the powder. I didn’t think much about how to give the drug. I just added it to my cat's canned food. She didn't seem to notice anything as she ate it as usual. I had to give the powder for a week, but that was enough. Firstly, the cat’s hair loss stopped, and secondly, the animal’s appetite improved. Without a veterinarian's prescription, I would not give this drug, but if it is prescribed, it can be given without fear. Just be sure to check the dosage.

Olga

I can only say the best about Vetom 1.1. For my kitten it turned out to be a lifesaver. The fact is that I picked up a kitten on the street. I could barely hold on. I immediately took him to the vet. The kitten was very malnourished, with weak immunity and dysbacteriosis. Plus several other diseases. This drug was prescribed among other medications. After completing the course of treatment, my new friend noticeably became prettier and cheerful. Then the veterinarian separately prescribed a course of Vetom 1.1 to finally bring the kitten’s body and immunity back to normal. But the main thing is not to overdo it with the drug, always check the dosage.
