Ingredients: Capsicum minimum, Mentha piperita, Sambucus nigra flos, Cola nitida, Crataegus oxycanthoides.

Understanding the Herbal Power:

• Capsicum minimum: Known for boosting the metabolism and immune system, and having an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. High in the carotenoid beta-carotene, capsicum helps the body to produce essential Vitamin A, crucial for newborn immune support and metabolic health in young animals.
• Mentha piperita (Peppermint): Targets the stomach and intestines to help reduce irritation and inflammation, aiding in digestive comfort for puppies, kittens, and young mammals.
• Sambucus nigra flos (Elderflower): Promotes peripheral circulation in the body, supporting vital blood flow to extremities, beneficial for newborn circulation and overall vitality.
• Cola nitida (Kola Nut): Supports the nervous system and cognitive development, providing a natural lift for struggling newborns and aiding neurological development in young animals.
• Crataegus oxycanthoides (Hawthorn): Known for its supportive role in heart health, offering crucial aid to the cardiovascular system, especially important for weakened or compromised newborn animals.

Usage Instructions:

• Phytopet Life Spray is for oral administration.
• Application: Simply spray 1-2 pumps directly into the animal's mouth when required. The fine mist ensures easy application, even for uncooperative young animals.
• Frequency: Administer every 10-15 minutes until improvement is seen. Always observe the animal's response and consult a vet if concerns persist or worsen.
• Species Suitability: Suitable for puppies, kittens, foals, lambs, piglets, and other young or struggling mammals.

General Whelping (Birthing) Information:

• Preparation is Key: Ensure a clean, warm, quiet whelping area or nesting box is prepared well in advance of the estimated due date. This helps the mother feel secure. Essential supplies include clean towels, a heat lamp (if needed, with care), a thermometer, and your vet's emergency number.
• Signs of Labour: Look for nesting behaviour, restlessness, loss of appetite, temperature drop (often 12-24 hours before labour starts), panting, and shivering.
• During Labour: Most mammals handle birth naturally. Intervene only if absolutely necessary and under veterinary guidance. Healthy contractions should produce a birth every 30-60 minutes. If a significant delay occurs, or if the mother is straining without progress, contact your vet immediately.
• Placentas: Each new life should be followed by a placenta. Count them to ensure none are retained, as this can cause infection. Most mothers will eat some placentas, which is natural.

Newborn Care (Puppies, Kittens, and Mammal Offspring):

• Warmth is Paramount: Newborns cannot regulate their body temperature. Ensure the whelping area remains warm (around 28-32°C for the first week, gradually decreasing). Use heat lamps or warming pads safely, ensuring the animals can move away if too hot. Hypothermia is a major cause of newborn mortality.
• Nursing: Ensure all newborns are latching and suckling effectively within the first few hours of birth. The first milk (colostrum) is vital for immunity. Weak or small individuals may need assistance or supplemental feeding with a species-appropriate milk replacer.
• Observation: Regularly observe newborns for signs of distress, such as constant crying, failure to nurse, lethargy, coldness, or difficulty breathing. Early intervention is critical. Phytopet Life Spray can be beneficial for those showing initial signs of struggling or weakness, offering quick oral absorption.
• Hygiene: Keep the nesting area clean and dry to prevent infections.
• Weight Gain: Monitor daily weight gain. Consistent weight gain is a good indicator of adequate feeding and overall health. Slow or no weight gain warrants veterinary attention.
• Hydration: Ensure adequate hydration, especially in warm environments or if the mother's milk supply seems low.

Rearing Young Mammals:

• Weaning: Weaning typically begins when young animals start showing interest in solid food (around 3-4 weeks for puppies/kittens, but varies by species). Gradually introduce a high-quality, species-appropriate starter food mixed with milk replacer or water to form a gruel. Reduce milk feedings as solid food consumption increases.
• Socialisation: Crucial for puppies and kittens. Expose them gradually to various sights, sounds, people, and other animals (once fully vaccinated) to develop well-adjusted adults.
• Parasite Control: Consult your vet for a deworming schedule appropriate for the species and age. Newborns are often born with worms acquired from the mother.
• Vaccinations: Follow your veterinarian's recommended vaccination schedule. This protects young animals from common and potentially fatal diseases.
• Nutrition: Continue to provide high-quality, age-appropriate nutrition. As they grow, their nutritional needs will change from milk replacer to starter foods, then junior/growth formulas.
• Veterinary Check-ups: Regular veterinary check-ups are essential throughout the rearing process to monitor growth, administer vaccinations, and address any health concerns promptly.

Common Challenges (and when Phytopet Life Spray may assist):

• Failure to Thrive: Young animals that are lethargic, not nursing well, or not gaining weight may benefit from initial support with Phytopet Life Spray while awaiting veterinary assessment. The spray format allows for rapid absorption.
• Hypothermia: While warming is crucial, the spray can provide a metabolic boost.
• Weakness at Birth: For newborns that are slow to respond or seem weak, this spray can offer a stimulating effect.
• Post-Trauma/Stress: Animals recovering from a difficult birth or other stressful events might benefit from the supportive properties.

Always remember that Phytopet Life Spray is a supportive aid, not a substitute for proper veterinary care, especially in critical situations involving newborns or struggling animals. Early veterinary intervention dramatically improves outcomes.
