Kitty Distempaid promotes normalization of digestive tract function, to include diarrhea (in some cases bloody diarrhea), vomiting, gas, bloat and more.
Using Kitty Distempaid and Vibactra Plus can help your kitten overcome the battle of the dreadful disease feline distemper.
Feline distemper (panleukopenia) is a viral disease affecting domestic cats and all other felids (e.g., lions, tigers, & other wild cats), as well as raccoons and minks. The symptoms of feline distemper and parvo are similar. Feline distemper can kill a kitten in 24 to 48 hours. The virus can be transmitted from urine, feces, vomit, and saliva of an infected cat.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis is made from clinical signs (listed below) as well as the demonstration of an extremely low white blood cell count. Confirmation of the diagnosis can be made by detection of virus particles in the feces.
Symptoms of feline distemper:
- High fever up to 105
- Severe depression
- Severe dehydration
- Loss of appetite
- Lethargy
- Vomiting
- Often times a kitten will lie with its head hanging over the water dish. This is normal. The nose of a cat can absorb fluid.
Panleukopenia (feline distemper) will enter the marrow of the bones and destroy white blood cells. This leaves the door open for growth of bacteria or viruses. If treated early in the disease, the kitten will have a better chance of survival.
Kitty Distempaid was developed to help kittens overcome this deadly disease. Due to the secondary infections that feline distemper can cause, Vibactra Plus (a natural antibiotic with an anti-parasitic) was formulated. It helps suppress viral and bacterial infections while your cat is in this susceptible state. Vitamin C is useful and recommended by Veterinarians to be given with treatment. While the kitten is in the feverish state give 100 milligrams per hour (for an adult cat give 250 milligrams of vitamin C per hour). The vitamin C will help to build the immune system.
Once the fever is down and the kitten is no longer vomiting you can start feeding solid food. Raw beef liver for 2-3 days is good for the kitten and acts like a tonic. Avoid letting your cat catch a chill for several days afterwards and continue with the Kitty Distempaid 4 times a day, Vibactra Plus twice a day and vitamin C twice a day for one week to prevent a relapse.
Kitty Distempaid can also help:
- Immunity enhancement (especially good for kittens who are weaning from their mother). In this situation you can give Kitty Distempaid once a day.
- Stop vomiting and diarrhea caused by environment changes.
- Stop vomiting and diarrhea caused by changes in diet.
- Ease travel discomfort.
- Bloat
- Gas

Preventative Use:
Kitty Distempaid can be given as a preventative if your cat has been exposed. Give Kitty Distempaid 4 times a day and Vibactra Plus twice a day for 5 days.
Immunity Enhancement:
For maintenance or immunity enhancement after initial course of Kitty Distempaid and Vibactra Plus, a reduced dose of 1 to 2 times per day may be used for prolonged periods (for up to one year or more in some cases -- please confirm with your Veterinarian).

Suggested use for feline distemper: Mix with Pedialyte. Give the Kitty Distempaid and Pedialyte every 15 minutes for the first hour. For the second hour (and every hour after) give once hourly until the cat is eating on its own. Once the cat is eating and has kept food down for 6 hours, give 4 times a day for 2 days to prevent a relapse.
Suggested preventative use: If kitten has been exposed to an infected cat give Kitty Distempaid 4 times a day for 5 days. If there are other kittens that have had feline distemper on the premises recently, continue treating with Kitty Distempaid once a day for 6 weeks (the kittens will shed the virus for 6 weeks). Do a thorough clean then discontinue use.
When you bring your kitten onto exposed property wait 2 days. Then give Kitty Distempaid 4 times a day and Vibactra Plus 2 times a day for 5 days to help prevent your kitten from coming down with feline distemper.
If your kitten continues to worsen it may be possible the virus has reached the large intestine or has become dehydrated. If this is the case you can perform some enemas (until the kitten shows some kind of improvement, perhaps lifting its head or wagging its tail). When giving an enema, be sure to grease the tip, keep the back straight and do not insert the tip too far. Put Kitty Distempaid and Pedialyte (same amount as you would by mouth) into the syringe and insert SLOWLY. Hold the buttocks together for two minutes then release. Do this once every one to two hours until you see improvement.
Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Do not give to animal if pregnant, pancreas or liver disease is present. We recommend using Kitty Distempaid with our herbal antibiotic Vibactra Plus or an antibiotic from your local Veterinarian.
