Kaogel Treatment

The Kaolin within Kaogel helps to protect and secure
the lining of the intestine and absorbs toxins from within the
intestine. It is also known to increase faecal bulk, thus promoting
firmer stools. It should help firm your cat's motions but it will not treat the underlying IBD, I recommend following your vets treatment plan to do this.

Products like this should usually be used within 6 months of opening.

This is usually given directly into the mouth, by teaspoon or using a syringe. (You can buy syringes cheaply from us if you want, click on the link or use the search box on the website. They are only a few pence each.) A 2.5ml or 5ml syringe would normally be good for Kaogel, depending on the size of your dog. A 20kg dog would benefit from 5mls given 4 times per day ideally. The dose can be halved if the diarrhoes is not too bad.

Usually according to effect but up to 5 days is acceptable. If diarrhoea persists beyond that point, it is sensible to have a vet check the puppy and perhaps re-evaluate the diet (and ensure worming is up to date).

Kaogel list the ingredients as each 5ml contains 0.99g Kaolin Light.

Kaogel is a traditional and safe treatment. It is much better if combined with reduced feeding levels for a while. Kittens with loose stools are often over-eating and over-loading their digestions. Modern cat foods are very appetising. Several small snacks every day is ideal. Each one should be polished off very quickly and the kitten should be looking for more, but not given any until the next small snack. Simply doing this will usually sort out the loose stools quite quickly, often without medication. Failing that, one of the pro-biotic mixtures might work well, such as Pro-kolin. This is beef flavoured and is usually easier to give than Kaogel.
