FAQs

How is Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid different from Cavalor Gastro Aid Paste?

The Paste is often recommended for initial, intensive management of gastric issues due to its concentrated formula and rapid action. The Liquid is ideal for daily maintenance and prevention once the horse's stomach is less sensitive, or for horses that prefer a liquid over paste.

Can Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid be used long-term?

Yes, Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid is designed for long-term daily use as a preventive measure for horses susceptible to gastric disturbances.

How long should I continue using the liquid after the paste treatment?

After completing a course of Gastro Aid Paste, you can transition to the liquid form for ongoing support. The duration for liquid maintenance should be determined based on your horse's individual needs and veterinary advice.

Does Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid stop stomach acid production?

No, unlike some pharmaceutical drugs, Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid does not stop stomach acid production. Instead, it provides nutritional tools to help protect the stomach lining from damage caused by acid and aids in neutralizing excess acid.

What are the main herbal ingredients and their roles?

Key ingredients include Gentiana Lutea (stimulates saliva, neutralizes acid), Melissa officinalis (protects stomach wall), Glycyrrhiza glabra (regulates GI function, antibacterial), Zingiber officinale (protects wall, aids healing), and Centaurium erythraea (stimulates saliva).

How much should I give my horse per day?

The standard daily rate is 60 ml. A maximum rate of 100 ml per day can be used if needed, but always consult with your veterinarian for specific recommendations.

What is the shelf life of Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid?

Please refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Horse refuses to drink liquid mixed with water

Try mixing the liquid with a small amount of palatable feed or a treat like applesauce. Ensure the dosage is accurate and the container is clean.

No noticeable improvement after several weeks

Ensure the product is being administered consistently at the correct dosage. Review the horse's diet and management practices for potential contributing factors. Consult with a veterinarian to rule out other health issues.

Bottle cap is difficult to open

Ensure the cap is properly aligned and press down slightly while twisting. If it's still stuck, warm water on the cap might help loosen it.

Product appears cloudy or has settled

Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Natural ingredients may cause slight variations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Administration:

Cavalor Gastro Aid Liquid is ready to use and can be administered directly or mixed with feed. The recommended daily rate is 60 ml.

  • Initial Transition: If transitioning from an Omeprazole-based solution, it's crucial to wean the horse off it gradually over approximately one week while introducing Gastro Aid Paste. After the paste phase, you can introduce the liquid.
  • Maintenance Dose: For daily support and prevention, administer 60 ml per day.
  • Maximum Dose: In more severe cases or under veterinary guidance, the dose can be increased to 100 ml per day.
  • Duration: For acute issues or initial management, a course of 4-6 weeks is typically recommended, followed by a maintenance program. Always consult with a veterinarian for a specific program tailored to your horse.

Compatibility:

  • With Other Cavalor Products: Designed to be used in conjunction with other Cavalor products, particularly Cavalor Gastro Aid Paste and Powder, for comprehensive gastric management.
  • With Medications: While it is a non-pharmaceutical product, it's essential to consult your veterinarian before administering alongside any medications, especially if the horse is on long-term drug therapy.
  • Diet: Works best when complementary dietary management is in place, such as ensuring constant access to forage and limiting high-sugar/starch feeds.

Care & Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after each use.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Use within the expiry date printed on the packaging.
  • Clean the measuring cup or syringe thoroughly after each use if used for direct administration.
