Troubleshooting
Pet refuses to take the paste
Pro-Kolin has an artificial beef flavour designed for palatability. If your pet is reluctant, try offering a small amount directly onto their paw for them to lick off, or consult your vet for alternative administration tips. Do not mix with large amounts of food, as this may dilute its effectiveness.
Symptoms are not improving or worsen
Pro-Kolin is a dietary supplement for digestive support. If your pet's symptoms do not improve within 24-48 hours, or if they worsen, stop administration and contact your veterinary surgeon immediately. Persistent or severe digestive issues require professional diagnosis and treatment.
Difficulty dispensing the paste from the syringe
Ensure the syringe has been stored in a cool, dry place. If the paste feels stiff, warm the syringe gently in your hands for a few minutes before administration to make it easier to dispense. Check that the dosage wheel is not obstructing the plunger's movement.
Unsure if the correct dose was given
The syringe features a dosage wheel for precise measurement. Refer to the 'Setup and Administration' section for instructions on how to set the wheel correctly. If you are unsure, err on the side of caution and re-measure the dose carefully for the next administration. Consult your vet if you have significant concerns about under or over-dosing.
