 OSSOL Nutritional Calcium Supplement
OSSOL is indicated as a supplement to the diet of (a) pregnant and lactating bitches. (b) young and growing puppies (especially when milk is in short supply) and (c) an aid in the treatment of Calcium deficiencies in dogs. OSSOL is a solution, or syrup of soluble Calcium salts together with Vitamins for the treatment of Calcium deficiency disorders in dogs, such as Osteomalacia, Eclampsia, and including the range of problems associated with poor Calcium uptake in bone structure or weak muscle tissue or hair growth. Being a solution it is instantly absorbed into the bloodstream of the dog. Calcium RequirementsThe average requirement of Calcium in dogs is as follows: *
OSSOL contains 90 mgm of Calcium per 5 ml dose. Normal dogs rations provide generally between 70 to 90% of the above required Calcium levels. Wet meat and or tinned food tend to generally have low Calcium levels, dry dog food tends to have higher levels. DosageDose rates for the administration of OSSOL are detailed as follows on the label of each bottle.
If feeding combinations of the above apportion appropriately. In cases where Osteomalacia or Eclampsia is an issue, please follow the revised dose rates as prescribed by your Vet Surgeon. Some dogs, particularly those subject to high work loads eg: sporting or working, hunting or racing dogs may require supplemented rates to those detailed above. Consult your Vet Surgeon for revised rates. The need for Calcium supplementation is well recognised by all dog owners and breeders. Most traditional dog rations have a short fall of Calcium. Fresh meat is particularly lacking in this mineral. Commercially prepared dry food is very considerably less so. Wet tinned food frequently falls between the two. A dog fed a straight all dry feed should be receiving a balanced diet. A combination of mix of wet or tinned and dry feed tends to throw the Calcium balance into a negative phase. Please refer to the dose labels or as set out opposite. A word here on the use of OSSOL in cases of Eclampsia. A frequent problem in some dogs, particularly smaller breeds, Eclampsia can be a frightening problem. If your bitch has a history of this disorder or you suspect could develop it, we suggest the following routine. Cease supplementation of Calcium, whatever material you are using at least three weeks before whelping. Begin dosing with OSSOL at the optimum level immediately after whelping. Any added Calcium just prior to whelping tends to depress the natural accumulation of Calcium, which in turn will tend to increase the possibility of the onset of ‘Milk Fever’ or Eclampsia. OSSOL is available in three sizes. 250ml,1 litre and bulk 20 litres *Ref: Dr D.M.Walker. Department of Animal Husbandry.
