Kaolin Pectin Anti-Diarrheal Liquid
For horses, cattle, dogs, and cats.
Product Description
Kaolin Pectin is a palatable oral suspension used to control simple diarrhea in horses, cattle, dogs, and cats. It’s one of the oldest and most widely stocked products in the category, and it stays in barns and clinics because it’s inexpensive, broadly safe, and works across every species on the shelf.
Kaolin is a clay that adsorbs material in the gut, and pectin adds bulk and helps firm the stool. Neither is absorbed into the bloodstream, which is why the safety margin is wide and why it’s reasonable to keep on hand for the occasional loose stool from a diet change, stress, or a new feed.
One bottle covering four species makes it practical for a mixed operation or a multi-pet household.

How to Use
Shake well before use. Give orally at the dose on the label for the species and body weight, or as directed by your veterinarian.
Repeat as directed. Keep fresh water available at all times, since the real danger in diarrhea is dehydration rather than the loose stool itself.
Additional Information
For horses, cattle, dogs, and cats. Store as directed on the label. Keep out of reach of children.
If you have food-producing animals, check with your veterinarian about any withdrawal requirements before use.
Talk to your veterinarian
This product is for simple, uncomplicated diarrhea. It does not treat the cause, and there are several causes where delaying real treatment matters.
Call your veterinarian if diarrhea lasts more than a day or two, or at any point if there is blood or black tarry stool, repeated vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, or signs of dehydration such as tacky gums or skin that stays tented.
Some situations need attention immediately rather than a wait and see approach. Diarrhea in a puppy, kitten, foal, or calf can dehydrate them dangerously fast. Diarrhea in an adult horse can progress to colitis, which is life threatening and moves quickly, so a horse that is dull, off feed, or has a fever alongside diarrhea needs a veterinarian the same day. A cat that stops eating for more than a day or two has a separate problem developing on top of the original one.
