WET TAIL SM ANIMAL DROPS

Oasis

Wet-Tail Drops, Small Animal Diarrhea Treatment 1 oz.

• Oasis Wet-Tail Drops is an effective liquid treatment for common diarrhea (wet tail) in small animals
• Suitable for use with hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils and guinea pigs

SYMPTOMS OF WET-TAIL (Proliferative Ileitis) MAY INCLUDE: Obvious changes in behavior or physical appearance such as weight loss, hunched posture, coat ungroomed or "standing up", animal sitting in one position with eyes squinted, distended belly, lack of appetite or dehydration followed by diarrhea and a wet or matted tail. Animal may not want to be handled. Early intervention (before onset of diarrhea) offers best chance of cure. Wet-Tail is considered to be a stress induced disease - avoid stress caused by overhandling your pet.

Day #1 of Treatment: Simply measure 3 teaspoons (15 ml) Oasis® Wet-Tail Drops? into water bottle or dish, and fill with 2 ounces of water. This creates a double strength dilution to begin treatment. For hamsters and guinea pigs, the eyedropper maybe used to place solution directly into mouth (see dosage chart in pamphlet) on the first day of treatment, preferably once in the morning and once at night. Allow your pet to lick the drops of medicine off of dropper's end.

Day #2 through Day #6 of Treatment: Replace the antibiotic treated water from Day #1. Simply measure 3 teaspoons (15 mL) into water bottle or dish, and fill with 4 ounces (120 mL) of water. Regardless of how much or how little your pet has consumed, the entire 4 ounces of treated water must be replaced each day so that medication retains full strength and effectiveness. Be sure that the water treated with OASIS WET TAIL DROPS is your pet's only source of water. If pet refuses to drink, try repeating eyedropper method. Eyedropper method may not be easily accepted by mice, rats and gerbils.

Be sure that you wash the water bottle, cap and drinking tube each time you change the medicated water during the treatment period. Sick or symptomatic animals should be separated from healthy animals (it is a good idea to treat the healthy looking animals for three days to prevent additional infection.) If you must house sick animals with a group of healthy animals, treat the entire group. Always treat the animals for the full 6 days. Discontinue feeding greens or treats to any animal that has diarrhea. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water immediately after handling sick animals.

If symptoms persist, treatment can be repeated for another course of 6 days. If condition does not improve, or any additional or prolonged symptoms are noticed, your pet will require the attention of your veterinarian. Animals under 6 months of age should receive 1/2 the adult doses.
