It used to give owners some difficulties that only Veracol for cats was produced as an injection. Tablets, unlike parenteral fluids , are usually easier to give than an injection. Therefore, the drug is now produced in this dosage form.
How much to give the animal the drug "Veracol"? For a cat, the dose is one tablet at a time. The tablet form of the drug, depending on the severity of the disease, is prescribed 2-3 times a day.
Injections are performed if the owner is not able to give the tablet a pill, or the animal is in a very serious condition and the intestinal absorption functions are severely impaired. Then it is better to inject the medicine not through the mouth, but bypassing the digestive tube. The course of treatment is usually up to five days for acute digestive disorders. In chronic disorders of the intestines and liver, the animal is treated for up to three weeks with Veracol. It is prescribed for a cat to perform subcutaneous injections once or twice every day.
