FAQs

What is Protexin Veterinary Pro-Kolin Paste used for?

It is a dietary supplement for dogs and cats designed to support digestive health, soothe the gut lining, and help alleviate symptoms like diarrhoea, flatulence, and upset stomachs by firming faeces and balancing gut flora.

What are the main ingredients in Pro-Kolin Paste and what do they do?

Pro-Kolin contains `Probiotics` (`Enterococcus faecium`) to maintain beneficial gut bacteria, `Prebiotics` (FOS and acacia) to feed those bacteria, `Kaolin` to firm up faeces, and `Pectin` to soothe the gut lining.

How often can I give Pro-Kolin to my pet?

It can be given up to three times daily, depending on the severity of symptoms, or as advised by your veterinary surgeon. Always follow the dosage instructions based on your pet's weight.

Is Pro-Kolin suitable for both dogs and cats?

Yes, Protexin Veterinary Pro-Kolin Paste is formulated for both dogs and cats across various weight ranges.

How should I store Pro-Kolin Paste?

Store the paste in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, replace the lid securely. It has a 2-year shelf life from manufacture and remains effective until the 'Best Before End' date even after opening if stored correctly.

What is the flavour of the paste?

The paste has an artificial beef flavouring to enhance palatability and improve acceptance by pets.

What is the difference between Pro-Kolin and Pro-Kolin Advanced?

Pro-Kolin replaces the previous 'Pro-Kolin+' product, maintaining the same formulation. While 'Pro-Kolin Advanced' is also available, this guide pertains to the standard Pro-Kolin paste and does not detail specific differences with the 'Advanced' version.

Troubleshooting

My pet refuses to take the paste.

The paste is beef-flavoured for palatability, but some pets can be fussy. Try placing a small amount on their paw for them to lick off, or mix the paste with a very small amount of their favourite wet food or treat to mask the texture.

Diarrhoea persists or worsens after using Pro-Kolin.

Pro-Kolin is designed to support digestive health during minor upsets. If your pet's symptoms do not improve within 24-48 hours, or if they worsen, become severe, or are accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or lethargy, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian immediately. Persistent digestive issues may indicate a more serious underlying condition.

I am unsure about the correct dosage.

Always refer to the dosage table provided on the packaging and in this guide. Use the dosage wheel on the syringe plunger carefully to select the precise amount. If in doubt, or if your pet's weight falls between categories, it is best to consult your veterinarian for specific advice.
