Useful Information
Oralade is a unique, ready-to-serve solution providing microenteral nutrition and oral rehydration support for cats with acute intestinal absorptive disorders and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Ultra low fat and low in protein makes it easy to digest. Oralade provides essential fluids, electrolytes, functional amino acids and simple glucose to support enterocyte recovery. Low phosphorous content enables support for renal function. It is recommended that a veterinarian’s opinion be sought before use.
Peroral microenteral nutrition
- Feeds the enterocytes-ultrafast absorption
- benefits even in vomiting patients
- Minimizes risk of GI bacterial translocations
- Optimizes GI health-Improves immune function,
- blood flow and intestinal barrier
- Faster transfer to regular diet
- Minimizes down regulation of important
- GI enzymes and reestablishes absorptive capacity
Anorexia and Poor Appetite in Cats
Cats do not tolerate fasting and must meet at least 2/3 of their daily energy requirements. Periods of anorexia or poor appetite can have serious consequences and should therefore be approached promptly. Oralade Cat is the perfect supplement to encourage increased consumption of any diet;
- High palatability-can be mixed in both dry and canned diets
- Improves hydrations status and thereby wellbeing
- Improves gastrointestinal tract absorption and barrier function towards bacteria
Cats and fluid therapy-why Oralade Cat is the natural choice
- Cats are prone to fluid overload when receiving intraveneous fluid therapy
- High risk groups include; cardiac disease, hyperthyrodism, acute kidney injury
- Peroral fluid therapy is safe and often sufficient for these patient groups
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
CKD is a very common disease encountered in older cats. Kidney disease is often scored and monitored according to IRIS guidelines. The IRIS system is based on international experts recommendations and aids in decision making and monitoring. Increasing fluid intake is recommended for all stages of CKD. Oralade Cat is therefore suitable to increase fluid intake in all stages of CKD due to its unique taste and optimized electrolyte composition. Increasing fluid intake will;
- Improve wash out of waste products
- Help restore electrolyte balances
- Maintain hydration and wellbeing
- Replace fluid loss from concurrent gastrointestinal losses (e.g. intermittent vomiting)
Feline Lower Urinary Tract (FLUTD) Disease
LUT disease is common and affects cats at all ages. The condition is associated with a lot of discomfort and pain for the patient. The exact cause is often unknown and management can be highly frustrating for both the owner and the veterinarian. Despite appropriate therapy recurrence is common. LUT disease may lead to urinary obstruction, which is a life-threatening problem that requires immediate veterinary attention. An essential part of treating these diseases is increasing water consumption to promote the production of dilute urine. For non-obstructive or post-obstructive LUT disease Oralade Cat can assist in recovery and maintenance by;
- Increasing fluid uptake and thereby increase wash-out of sediments
- Decrease risk of recurrence
- Alleviate pain and straining
- Maintain dilute urine as recommended
