Consult your veterinarian first about using Veta-Lac
Powder Feline. Your veterinarian should provide specific instructions
for feeding kittens.
Veta-Lac Powder Feline measures are approximately
1 tbsp.
Directions:
- Reconstitute powder by thoroughly shaking or stirring
together 3 level measures with ½ cup (4 oz.) very warm water. Refrigerate unused
portion. To prepare smaller quantities, mix 1 measure of medium to firmly
packed powder with 3 measures very warm water.
- Give 1 measure of powder daily to kittens weighing
2 oz. Give 2 measures daily to kittens weighing 4 oz. Give 4 measures
daily to kittens weighing 8 oz. Give 6 measures daily to kittens weighing
1 lb. Give 12 measures daily to kittens weighing 2 lbs.
- Use a clean dropper or bottle to feed kittens whenever
they are hungry. Follow your veterinarian's advice to avoid overfeeding.
- Feed Veta-Lac Powder Feline to kittens at refrigerated
or room temperature. Avoid sudden temperature changes or variations
among feedings.
- Gradually decrease use of Veta-Lac Powder Feline
and liquids and replace them with solid foods over the course of 2 to
3 weeks as recommended by your veterinarian.
- Mix 2 level measures of powder per 5 lbs. of body
weight in with the regular meals of pregnant and lactating cats. Continue
administration until 2 weeks after birth.
Frequency of Use:
Typically, strong newborn kittens are fed approximately
every 4 hours for the first few days of life, while weaker or small
newborns are fed approximately every 2 hours for the first few days.
By the second week, an additional 2 hours are added in between feedings.
By the third week, kittens generally only need 3 meals per day, and

healthy feeding habits and a schedule for gradually converting kittens
to solid food.

Warnings:
Keep Veta-Lac Powder Feline out of reach of children
and animals. Do not use or store in or near open flame or heat.
Veta-Lac Powder Feline is intended for use in kittens
requiring a milk replacement product and in pregnant and nursing queens.
Do not feed to other animals. Not for human ingestion.
Follow your veterinarian's usage and general feeding
advice.
CAUTION: The consistency and frequency
of a kitten's bowel movements indicate if an appropriate feeding schedule
is being followed and if food quantities are appropriate. Consult your
veterinarian if your kitten develops constipation, diarrhea, or loose
stools while using Veta-Lac.
Whenever possible, kittens should be fed the mother's
colostrum for at least the first 2 days of life. This is the only way
to transfer antibodies that protect the kitten against a variety of
pathogens and illnesses.
Wash nursing droppers and bottles well with soap
and warm water after every use. Rinse well.
