Protexin – Pro-Kolin for dogs and cats – Probiotic paste

My dog has always had a sensitive stomach and was put on a hypoallergenic diet by me vet. In spite of this she still recently got an upset stomach which was accompanied by diarrhoea. I bought this for her as it had good reviews and seemed to contain natural ingredients and no nasty chemicals. The first problem I had was getting her to take it. She simply closed her mouth and refused to let me insert the syringe. I had to devise a different way to get her to take it. I took a half slice of corned beef (which she loves), squirted some pro-kolin on it, wrapped the slice up like a parcel and put it in her dish. She then wolfed it down. She clearly did not mind the taste of the pro-kolin. I have continued to give her the product in this was since and it seems to work well. She has got over the diarrhoea but given she has a sensitive stomach I have decided to continue giving her this product but have now reduced the servings from 2 a day, to 1 day. The 2nd point which I wish to make is that I found it quite difficult to measure out the correct dosage. My dog required 5ml servings but the measurements on the syringe were in multiples of 4ml and the distance between the measurements shown was less than a millimetre, making it impossible to measure 5ml correctly. The 1st time I used the product I tried to give her 5 ml but then found that the dial had jumped to 8ml so I presume I had given her too much! However, no harm was done and although I try to give her the right measure I am quite relaxed about it now. Overall this is a good product but quite expensive. For my size of dog, I only get 12 servings which works out quite a lot. If it had been cheaper I may well have continued to giver her this product after this pack is finished but due to the cost I probablt won’t do this.
