NEO-NATAL HYPOGLYCEMIA
The first 48 hours are extremely critical to the survival of the newborn
kitten or puppy. Any situation where the kitten or puppy undergoes a difficult
birth, has excessive competition relative to milk availability, undergoes
chilling, inadequate milk supply and toxic milk syndrome, frequently results
in the death of the newborn. The primary cause of death is hypoglycemia.
A high Energy Nutritional aid that can be absorbed rapidly through the stomach
and oral membranes and is shunted directly from the stomach to the liver
is essential to enable the newborn to overcome this life threatening crisis.
JUVENILE HYPOGLYCEMIA
A common problem experienced by breeders of toy and small breeds in the
first weeks of life are spent in constant danger of death loss due to hypoglycemia.
The cause of the syndrome is an inappropriate or incomplete development
of various metabolic pathways. Caloric intake must be supplemented until
normal pathways are functional. This period has been documented to be as
long as 18 weeks in come cases. This is a frustrating problem which requires
a preparation with a High Energy Base that becomes an effective mainline
carrier of the essential nutrients directly to the blood stream of the animal.
WHELPING/ UTERINE INERTIA
Uterine inertia is the most common cause of feline and canine dystocia.
The most frequent cause associated with uterine inertia is exhaustion which
results from low blood sugar levels. A Fast Acting Energy Source is very effective
when administered to females between births if the interval appears to become
alarmingly extended. Frequently, 10 minutes after this administration, normal
contractions will be seen.
An administration of this specific type is essential both 10 minutes prior
to Oxytocin, as oxytocin must have uterine muscle capable of contracting
before it can be effective. Oxytocin given to an animal with a fatigued hypoglycemic
uterine musculature is not effective. The administration should also be
given post whelping to ensure that complete uterine emptying occurs, minimising
the possibility of uterine infection.
ACETONEMIA
This is a condition where the animal is consuming inadequate levels of
carbohydrates and compensates by mobilising stored energy from fat stores.
The metabolism of fat is incomplete in that there is a build up of substances
called ketone bodies. The appetite becomes depressed as the ketone bodies
increase in concentration. A Precise Balance of Specific nutrients coupled
with an Immediate Energy Source will quickly enable normal carbohydrate metabolism
to be restored, resulting in a return of appetite.
Acetonemia is frequently complicated by infectious disease. The above combination
will play an additional role in elevating blood glucose levels to enable
a functioning immune system to compliment antibiotic therapy. It is also
essential to administer a treatment that will be responsible for dramatic
improvements in the animal's body because of its ability to cause changes
at the cellular level. This assimilation enables the normal dynamic processes
to occur in the stressed or sick animal as they would in healthy, nutritionally
normal animals.
IMMUNE SYSTEM ACTIVITY
Veterinary knowledge has demonstrated that the immune activity of the body
is dependant on the nutritional state of the animal. If an animal has a
serious infectious condition and the white blood system is without available
glucose, there is high likelihood that therapy regime will fail.
A high frequency of antibiotic failure results not from an ineffective
antibiotic, but from a crippled or non-functioning immune system. A Fast
Acting High Energy Supplement should be administered 10 minutes prior to
any antibiotic. An antibiotic is of no more value than the level of energy
in the animal's system.
