Product Information

Full details

Oralade RF Support Cat is a ready-to-serve, isotonic liquid designed for cats experiencing acute intestinal absorptive disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), or during recovery periods. Its primary benefit is providing rapid oral rehydration and microenteral nutrition with a highly palatable chicken flavor. A key consideration is that it should be used as a supportive measure and not a sole source of nutrition without veterinary guidance. This formula offers essential electrolytes, simple sugars, functional amino acids, and a restricted amount of high-quality protein, all while being zero phosphorus, zero calcium, and hypoallergenic.

What is Oralade RF Support Cat used for?

It is used for cats experiencing acute intestinal absorptive disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), gastrointestinal upset, and during recovery periods to provide oral rehydration and microenteral nutrition.

Is Oralade RF Support Cat a complete meal replacement?

No, it is a supportive formula for rehydration and nutrition. It should not be used as a sole source of nutrition without veterinary guidance. It can supplement a prescription diet or encourage intake.

How much Oralade RF Support Cat should I give my cat?

The amount can vary based on the cat's condition and veterinary recommendations. As a general guide for hydration, start with small amounts (e.g., 2-5 ml per kg of body weight every few hours) and adjust as needed. Always follow your veterinarian's advice.

Does it contain phosphorus or calcium?

No, Oralade RF Support Cat is formulated with zero phosphorus and zero calcium, making it suitable for cats with renal or urinary issues.

How long can I use Oralade RF Support Cat?

The duration of use depends on the cat's condition and veterinary advice. It is often used during acute illness, recovery, or as a long-term supportive measure for chronic conditions like CKD, always under veterinary supervision.

Can I mix Oralade RF Support Cat with water?

Oralade RF Support is already an isotonic solution designed for optimal absorption. Diluting it with water may alter its electrolyte balance and should only be done if specifically recommended by your veterinarian.

What is the shelf life after opening?

Once opened, the product must be refrigerated and used within 3 days. Discard any unused portion after 3 days.

Troubleshooting

Cat refuses to drink the product

Ensure the product is served at room temperature or slightly warmed, as some cats prefer this. Try offering it from a clean bowl or a syringe. Mixing a small amount with their regular food might also encourage acceptance.

Product has an unusual smell or appearance after opening

This is unlikely if stored properly. However, if you notice any spoilage, do not offer it to your cat. Check the expiry date and ensure it has been stored correctly in the refrigerator after opening.

Cat experiences mild digestive upset after consumption

While rare due to its gentle formula, introduce the product gradually. If upset persists, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.
