Adult cats

EmerAid® Intensive Care Feline is a therapeutic product to be used under the supervision of a veterinarian. Begin with 25% to 30% of daily caloric requirements and gradually adjust the volume and number of feedings based on patient condition. A volume of 5-10 ml/kg/feeding is generally well tolerated via esophagostomy or gastric tube. Calculate Resting Energy Requirement (RER) by using the following: RER = [70 x BW(kg)0.75].

When fed for longer than 1 month, supplement EmerAid® Intensive Care Feline daily with 1% fish oil on a dry matter basis. When EmerAid® is fed to lactating animals longer than 1 week, it is recommended that the diet be supplemented daily with 1% fish oil (DMB). The NRC recommends a level of 0.025 g/1,000 kcal ME of a combination of DHA and EPA for both kittens and adult cats.

In adult cats, EmerAid® Intensive Care Feline feeding recommendations are based on predicted resting energy requirements (RER)a

Kittens

Kittens have relatively high energy requirements when compared to adult cats. EmerAid® Intensive Care Feline meets or exceeds requirements for all life stages with the one exception of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels. When EmerAid® is fed to growing animals longer than 1 week, it is recommended the diet be supplemented daily with 1% fish oil (DMB). The NRC recommends a level of 0.025 g/1,000 kcal ME of a combination of DHA and EPA for both kittens and adult cats.
EmerAid® Intensive Care Feline feeding recommendations based on predicted daily energy requirements (DER) in the average kitten.
