Vetom 1.1 is used as a primary and preventive drug in veterinary medicine. The composition is prescribed for the treatment of diseases in pets caused by viral or bacterial agents that have entered the body.
The popular medicine promotes the speedy recovery of cats and dogs after surgery. The action of the medicinal product is aimed primarily at supporting the immunity of a living organism.
If you feed weakened animals with a medicinal composition, then the body of a recovering pet or a newborn kitten will quickly get stronger and gain weight. Summarizing all the pharmacological actions that the Russian drug has, we can say that Vetom 1.1 is an immunomodulator, as well as a stimulator of animal growth and development.
The medicine in the form of a fine white powder is packaged in foil bags weighing 2-200 grams. 500-1000 g of the structure, which is odorless but has a sweetish taste, is placed only in glass pharmacy bottles that are tightly closed with a lid.
Sometimes on the shelves of veterinary pharmacies you can find Vetom 1.1 for animals in the form of capsules, but this form of release is very rare and is in little demand among breeders. Regardless of the appearance and form of release, the drug is equally effective, so you can purchase the medicine in any composition.
The therapeutic effect of taking the drug is achieved through Bacillus subtilis. Bacteria are presented in the form of spores contained in a special nutrient medium. The instructions for the drug Vetom 11 for animals indicate that among the additional substances in the composition of the medicine are starch, sucrose, and corn particles; these components provide a favorable environment for supporting the vital activity of spores.
Dangerous viral diseases in cats
The diseases listed above primarily affect animals with reduced immunity, small kittens, and unvaccinated cats. Many of them are fatal without treatment.
With calcivirosis, the mortality rate reaches 30%; the disease is typical only for cats and is not dangerous for people. The virus affects the upper respiratory tract and is spread by airborne droplets through contact with a sick animal. A person can bring a dangerous virus into the house on their clothes, so even domestic cats can become infected. The infection is most severe when animals are kept in groups.
The acute course of the disease is observed in small kittens; adult cats often experience the disease asymptomatically. The incubation period is 2-15 days, symptoms appear 3 days after infection:
- sneezing;
- lacrimation;
- inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes.
A little later they are joined by:
- increased body temperature;
- weakness;
- refusal to eat;
- nasal congestion;
- thick mucous or purulent discharge from the nose;
- ulcers in the mouth.
Treatment involves taking antibiotics, which disrupts the balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms in the pet's intestines. To restore it, Vetom is prescribed in addition to the main treatment.
Plague, otherwise panleukopenia, is a viral infectious disease characterized by high mortality. In kittens, the mortality rate is more than 90%; adult cats with good immunity have a high chance of recovery, but remain carriers of the virus.
The main symptoms of plague:
- heat;
- damage to the heart and gastrointestinal tract;
- general intoxication of the body;
- dehydration.
In acute cases, the disease worsens quickly, the temperature reaches 41 and above, and the pet refuses food. The infection is accompanied by greenish-yellow vomit that may contain mucus and blood. The feces take on a foul odor.
The disease is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, dehydration, and the cat sits by a bowl of water and does not drink. The animal quickly loses weight, the coat becomes dull. Possible coma. The rapid course of panleukopenia leads to the sudden death of the pet; a mild form of the disease manifests itself as malaise and ends with recovery, but the cat remains a virus carrier.
Antibiotics are also used in the treatment of other infectious diseases. The dietary supplement supports the functions of the digestive system, alleviates the animal’s condition during the period of fighting the disease, and strengthens the body’s protective functions.

Manufacturer, purpose and forms of release of Vetom drugs
Vetom is a domestic microbiological preparation for domestic, wild, farm animals and birds. Its manufacturer is the research and production company Research Center, specializing in the development and production of medical, cosmetic, veterinary drugs and dietary supplements.
The dietary supplement is available in several forms:
- capsules (packed in blisters of 25 or 50 pieces, 0.25 g each);
- solution for oral use (placed in 10 ml ampoules);
- powder (packed in paper bags of 5 and 50 g or in polymer tubes of 500 g).
The supplement contains the biomass of Bacillus subtilis bacteria (1106 CFU per 1 g). Thanks to it, the number of beneficial microorganisms in the digestive tract of animals increases, and pathogenic ones decrease. The balance between pathogenic and normal microflora is normalized, resulting in improved digestion.
The drug has immunomodulatory properties: Bacillus subtilis (another name for Bacillus subtilis) stimulates the release of interferon protein, which has antiviral activity and stops the growth of cancer cells. It helps restore the intestinal mucosa and normalize metabolism. The supplement also has a detoxifying effect and accelerates the process of removing toxins from the body.
Release form, composition and packaging
The medicine Vetom is a sweet, white, odorless powder, easily soluble in water.
Vetom series veterinary drugs are available in various forms:
The first two types are intended for any animals: domestic, fur-bearing, agricultural, wild, fish and birds. The last two types are intended only for dogs, piglets and calves. Cats are given Vetom 1.1, Vetom 2 and Vetom 3.
The course of treatment is continued until the cat recovers completely.
All types of the drug, except Vetom 2, contain the bacterium Bacillus subtilis as an active ingredient. Vetom 2 also includes a second bacterium - Bacillus licheniformis.
The powder is packaged in 5 g bags, as well as in plastic jars with a volume of 50 g or 500 g.
Description of the drug
The main component of Vetom 1.1 is the bacterium Bacillus subtilis (one gram of the drug contains 1106 colony-forming units of living microbial cells). These microorganisms have antagonistic activity, destroying infectious pathogens. Bacillus subtilis is also needed to combat dysbiosis due to the secreted enzymes, active breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber occurs. As a result, food absorption improves, microflora is normalized, diarrhea and vomiting are eliminated.
Additional substances in Vetom 1.1 are corn syrup sublimate, starch and powdered sugar. These components do not have medicinal properties and are added to the drug solely to maintain the viability of healing bacteria.
Store the product in an unopened bag at room temperature. Shelf life 4 years from the date of production. Opened bagged packaging can only be stored for 14 days. The prepared solution must be consumed immediately; leaving it to give to the patient the next day is prohibited.
Why does VETOM help with various diseases? What is this, a panacea?
A panacea is a mythical medicine that cures all diseases...
Of course, these drugs are not a panacea, but when, with the help of VETOM drugs, the body gets rid of pathogenic microbes that poison the body with their toxins, the vital forces of the body are released to fight the disease, and the body itself begins to actively recover. It should be noted that, unlike antibiotics, the normal microflora is not killed, and a milder and more natural effect does not lead to a stressful state, which also affects the effectiveness of treatment.
The bacteria Bacillus subtilis are able to produce natural antibiotics. Unlike a doctor, they prescribe them in the quantity that is necessary and sufficient to defeat the enemy. And they will always finish off the enemy. And yet there is no resistance.
In addition, the drug Vetom 1.1 contains the bacterium Bacillus subtilis strain VKPM B 7092, modified with the plasmid rBMV 105, capable of producing human interferon 2-alpha-leukocyte. This interferon enters the body not through intramuscular injection, but naturally, being absorbed through the intestinal walls, which allows the body to perceive it without rejection and an immune response. (The body decides for itself whether it needs interferon or not). Therefore, a relatively small amount of interferon exhibits a greater therapeutic effect.
Dosage
Using Vetom 1.1 is not that difficult. To obtain the finished medicine, you need to dilute the purchased powder in warm water. The prepared suspension is measured in quantities that depend on the type and degree of pathology: For preventive measures, 50 mg is prescribed per kilogram of the pet’s weight daily. The course lasts 2-3 weeks. For symptomatic manifestations of dysbacteriosis or other disorders of the digestive system, it is recommended to administer the liquid composition rectally at a dosage of 50 mg/1 kg for 3-5 days from the beginning. The patient is given an enema in advance. Therapy is required for 7 days to improve immunity. The prescribed 50 mg per 1 kg is given twice a day. Infections are fought with the usual 50 mg of Vetom 1.1, but the drug is given to the patient 4 times (every 6 hours). The duration of rehabilitation therapy will be 3-7 days. Contraindications and precautions Among the precautions that must be observed when treating a cat with Vetom 1.1, it is worth noting the following: The powder is diluted in clean water heated to a temperature of 37-40C. In cold water, the composition may not dissolve completely, and in too hot a liquid, the beneficial bacteria will simply cook, and there will be no effect from taking the drug. In addition, hot drinks can burn the cat's respiratory tract. While preparing the drug, a person should not eat or drink. The substance can be mixed into the animal’s food if the cat refuses to lick the substance on its own. Before and after the procedure, you should wash your hands with soap, and if the medicine gets on the mucous membranes, you should rinse them with plenty of water. No unexpected reactions were observed in animals from taking Vetom 1.1. Among the contraindications to the use of the composition is only diabetes mellitus in cats. But almost always the medicinal mixture was well tolerated by the test animals. The only exceptions were the rarest situations when the cat developed an allergy due to intolerance by the body of the hay bacillus.
How to give the powder, how long does the course last?
The solution is prepared simply: the powder is poured with warm water in a ratio of 1:10, mixed thoroughly and poured into the cat’s mouth using a syringe without a needle or pipette. Can be mixed into food. The duration of the course depends on the purpose of using Vetom 1.1:
- Prophylactic course (for example, to prevent or treat dysbiosis after antibiotics) 1 time per day during the day.
- To increase natural resistance, eliminate food indigestibility, increase weight gain in small kittens, once a day for 24 hours.
- To correct immunodeficiency states 12 times a day throughout the day.
- For the treatment of intestinal infections, it is allowed either to switch to an increased dose, or to administer the standard dosage up to 4 times a day with an interval of 6 hours (give the drug until the symptoms of the disease completely cease).
Cats don’t like the taste of the drug; they won’t drink it on their own; you’ll have to mix it into food or inject it with a syringe without a needle.
If oral infusion is not advisable due to vomiting in a cat (when all the medicine comes out with the vomit without having time to be absorbed into the blood through the stomach and intestines), then rectal administration of Vetom 1.1 is allowed. The drug is diluted with warm boiled water and administered using an enema.
Directions for use and dosage
A caring owner should know how to give Vetom to a cat. You can mix the medicinal powder with wet food or pate, dilute it in warm boiled water (38–40°C) and give the cat a syringe to drink, or give the cat an enema with Vetom solution.
Each form of medication has its own characteristics, so the drugs have slightly different instructions and recommendations.
Vetom 1.1 for cats. Instructions:
- Available in the form of sachets of 5 g and 50 g.
- The powder is dissolved in water (4–5 ml) or added to food.
- Take orally 1 hour before meals.

- Can be used rectally after an enema 3–5 times a day;
Important! Vetom 1.1 helps a cat recover from illness or surgery. It is useful for protecting the immune system, effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and diseases, infections, poisoning, allergies, hormonal and metabolic disorders. The use of Vetom is useful in the symptomatic treatment of immunodeficiency and cancer.
Vetom 2. Instructions for use for cats:
- Dosages are the same as for Vetom 1.1.
- Helps with dysbacteriosis, improves immunity, prevents the occurrence of many diseases, and also treats them.
- Used for treatment of feline immunodeficiency.
- Necessary for inflammatory processes in the stomach and intestines.
- The medicine is mixed with food, dissolved in water or prepared as an enema.
Important! Vetom 2 can be added to formula or colostrum and fed to several kittens at once.
Vetom 3. Instructions for use for cats:
- Therapeutic dosage is 50 mg per 1 kg of animal weight 3-4 times a day until complete recovery.
- Dosage for the treatment of immunodeficiency - 50 mg per 1 kg of cat weight 1-2 times a day for 5-10 days.
- Prevention of gastrointestinal diseases begins immediately after birth: kittens are given Vetom 3 50 mg per 1 kg of weight once every 48 hours for 10 days.
- Useful for diarrhea, constipation and other digestive disorders.
Important! Vetom for kittens helps prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.
For rectal use of Vetom for cats, you will need a urethral catheter No. 14. You need to cut off the cannula and leave only the tube. Then pour a slightly warm Vetom solution into a syringe, replace the needle with a silicone tube from the catheter, carefully insert the catheter into the anus and inject the medicine.
Composition of various Vetom additives
The probiotic is available in several versions, each of which contains different strains of Bacillus subtilis:
| Variety | Bacillus subtilis strain | Peculiarities |
| Vetom 1.1 | VKPM V-10641 | Used for immunodeficiency, restores intestinal microflora after antibiotic therapy, effective against dysbacteriosis |
| Vetom 2 | VKPM V-10642, VKPM V-10643 | Improves the function of the large intestine, causes the death of pathogenic microorganisms, including chlamydia, stimulates the immune system |
| Vetom 3 | VKPM V-10642 | Used as an adjuvant for various diseases of the respiratory organs, genitourinary system, gastrointestinal tract and liver, allergies, myasthenia gravis, constipation, inflammation of the urethra. Eliminates putrefactive processes in the large intestine. |
| Vetom 4 | VKPM V-10643 | It is used for the same pathologies as Vetom 3, as well as for chlamydia. Normalizes the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates |
The composition of the dietary supplement in powder form, in addition to the bacterial mass, includes powdered sugar and starch. Sucrose, corn extract, and potato starch are used as fillers in capsules. The liquid product contains corn extract, sodium chloride and purified water. To treat cats, a dietary supplement is most often used in powder form; it is easier to divide into doses.
Properties of Vetom 4
Vetom 4 is one of the best new generation drugs that have a probiotic effect and a positive complex effect on the body. It does not contain harmful chemical compounds, like most drugs, but is a biologically active agent that supplies a group of bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (strain VKPM B-10643), which effectively destroys pathogenic and opportunistic microflora.
Probiotics Bacillus amyloliquefaciens exhibit a unique ability to settle, for the most part, in the small intestine. After entering the body as part of the drug, the bacteria “come to life” and begin to actively develop and multiply. Then, in the process of life, they secrete a group of certain enzymes that are toxic to pathogens (but do not harm beneficial microorganisms). As a result, pathogenic bacteria die and are removed from the body, and beneficial microorganisms begin to multiply again, due to which the normal composition of the natural microflora is gradually restored.
The choice of this type of bacteria for the composition of Vetom 4 was not accidental. This group is characterized by very high resistance to all digestive juices of the body, so they manage to take root in the intestines for a while and actively populate it. Spores of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens transform into vegetative forms and begin to secrete special enzymes-antibiotic-like substances against pathogens, destroying them, but after a certain time they also “leave” the body, leaving behind a healthy normal environment.
Vetom 4 is a broad-spectrum probiotic; its use is effective both for various types of infections of the small intestine and the entire gastrointestinal tract, and for providing a healing effect to the entire body. All this has been proven clinically and many years of practical use. The unique composition perfectly complements the complex therapy for a number of diseases, and can also be used as a prophylactic agent.
Under the active influence of the drug, four very important processes are normalized, namely:
- metabolism;
- digestion;
- cleansing;
- absorption of beneficial and nutritious components entering the digestive system with food.
Given its wide spectrum of action, Vetom 4 can be recommended to complement the complex treatment program for various infectious diseases. It is mainly prescribed for the treatment of colitis, chronic hepatitis, gastroenterocolitis, digestive disorders (diarrhea and constipation), chronic enteritis, liver cirrhosis and gastro-ulcerative diseases.
The drug is necessary for those people who have impaired lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. The vital activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens stimulates metabolism and speeds it up. The additional production of special digestive enzymes by this type of bacterium promotes better absorption and assimilation by the body of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, beneficial microelements and amino acids from the diet.
Increasing the amount of a special type of enzyme helps get rid of sludge in the small intestine. The fact is that undigested food remains constantly settle and accumulate on its walls, which not only leads to blockage, but is accompanied by rotting processes that release poisonous (toxic) substances. Probiotics Bacillus amyloliquefaciens help dissolve residues, bind them into individual molecules, which are very quickly eliminated from the body naturally.
Vetom 4 exhibits high aggression against chlamydia, suppresses the growth and development of these coccus-like intracellular parasites, which are dangerous to the body and disrupt the function of the reproductive system.
To summarize, it is worth emphasizing that the bioactive drug Vetom 4:
- has high antagonistic activity against many pathogenic bacteria;
- stops and prevents the development of dysbacteriosis;
- activates metabolic processes, thereby providing a stronger healing effect;
- optimizes the functions of the immune system, stimulating cellular and humoral immunity factors, but, in particular, activating the work of the immune organelles of the small intestine;
- helps saturate all cells of the body with useful substances (by improving their absorption from food and eliminating unnecessary “consumers” - pathogens).
The bioactive drug Vetom 4 is safe for the body and has only beneficial effects and does not cause allergic reactions (with the exception of rare cases of individual intolerance to Bacillus subtilis).
Indications for use
The drug is prescribed to treat dysbiosis of various origins, normalize digestion, and eliminate symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. It can be given to small kittens whose digestive tract has not yet learned to properly absorb nutrients from food (as a result of treatment with Vetom 1.1, the growth of babies is accelerated).
Vetom 1.1 allows for more active weight gain in frail kittens
The medicine copes well with intestinal infections and can be included in the course of treatment for dysentery, coccidiosis, salmonellosis, and escherichiosis. Normalizing the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract helps strengthen the immune system.
Vetom 1.1 is also used as a prophylactic agent for the correction of immunodeficiency states; it is given to animals with an increased risk of infectious infection. For example, it is actively used in veterinary medicine to prevent purulent-septic complications in the postoperative period.
Prescribed by Vetom 1.1 in any case of difficult digestion. It will be useful for old cats whose intestinal motor function is reduced due to age-related reasons. Recommended by Vet after completing a course of antibiotics and steroids (the drug will protect against possible dysbacteriosis).
The remedy is also used in cases of malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract for psychogenic reasons after experiencing stress (due to moving, visiting an exhibition, the appearance of other animals in the house, etc.). Vetom 1.1 will be useful for normalizing digestion after or during feeding with food with an increased amount of carbohydrates/proteins (such food often provokes diarrhea, constipation, increased gas formation, bloating, colitis, and the drug helps to cope with these intestinal problems).
Reviews
I gave a 10-day course of Vetom to a cat and her kitten for gastrointestinal disorders. The causes of the disorders were in different cases: stress, the use of antibiotics, the use of anthelmintic drugs. It always helped.
After antibiotic injections, Liska's cat's stool relaxed. The doctor prescribed Vetom 1.1 - 1/10 teaspoon 2 times a day, treatment for 3 to 5 days (he said that as soon as the diarrhea goes away, stop giving the powder immediately). The cat did not eat the medicine itself; I diluted it in a spoon with water and drank it with a syringe. The stool improved after 3 days.
At the Shelter for Cats and Dogs, we often used the probiotic Vetom 1.1 in the complex treatment of panleukopenia and enteritis, various viruses, and also mixed it into the drink of weakened animals. Please note: it must be taken as part of complex treatment. Vetom alone does not cure diseases! But it definitely helps the body cope with many problems.
Vetom 1.1 is used for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. Its goal is to restore the balance of intestinal microflora, improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, eliminate intestinal infections, and strengthen immune defense. The drug is actively used in veterinary medicine - it has earned the respect of doctors and animal owners for its good quality indicators, affordable price and the absence of the risk of harming the cat by causing a malfunction of healthy organs.
Mode of application
The instructions provide several schemes for using Vetom for cats. It is advisable to give the drug to the cat about an hour before the animal receives food. It is possible to add a probiotic to food or water. To prepare a probiotic solution, the powder is diluted in a small amount of warm water or milk; the finished solution should be used within 24 hours.
The drug tastes quite pleasant, as it contains sugar, so cats rarely refuse this medicine. But if your pet does not want to take the drug in this way, you can administer it orally using a syringe without a needle, directing the stream of solution to the root of the tongue. The last option is to give the cat a cleansing enema and then administer a probiotic suspension rectally.
The dosage is 50-27 mg (in terms of dry powder) per 1 kg of cat weight. The doctor decides how long and how many times a day to give the cat the drug. It depends on what purpose the probiotic is used for.
- If Vetom is prescribed to a cat for the prevention of diseases of the digestive system, it is used as a bioactive supplement, then the probiotic can be given once every two to three days, and the course of its use is from 10 to 20 days.
- In order to restore immunity, the drug is usually given for a week, 2 times a day.
- For infectious and viral diseases, the course of treatment is 3-5 days, but the animal is given medicine 4 times a day.
- In case of acute intestinal diseases or persistent diarrhea, when it is necessary for the probiotic to enter the body as quickly as possible, or if the cat is unable to take the medicine orally, she is given a cleansing enema, and then the drug is administered rectally for 3-5 days.
Attention! Vetom does not interact with most medications. But its simultaneous use with antibiotics and sulfonamides is unacceptable: the active substances of probiotics and antiviral or antimicrobial drugs mutually neutralize each other’s effects. Therefore, Vetom should be used only after completing a course of antibiotic therapy or stopping taking a drug containing sulfanilic acid amide.
If necessary, the doctor can choose a substitute - there are a number of domestic and foreign drugs that have a similar effect. They are created on the basis of different strains of Bacillus subtilis, and are available in liquid or lyophilized form. These are probiotics:
History of the drug's creation
Vetom for cats is a probiotic that improves intestinal microflora. The founder of the idea of the health benefits of microbes was I.I. Mechnikov. He argued that immunity depends on the state of the intestinal microflora. But scientific research into this issue began much later.
Probiotics protect your cat's immune system
The first experiments to create a drug based on bacteria of the genus Bacillus and, in particular, Bacillus subtilis took place during the Second World War. Soviet scientists paid more careful attention to this work in the post-war period.
The goal of scientific research was to create a drug that stimulates the immunity of humans and animals, as well as suppresses the growth and activity of putrefactive and pathogenic microorganisms. Scientific experiments were carried out at the Kiev Institute of Microbiology named after. Zabolotny under the guidance of Professor V.V. Smirnova.
During long-term observations, scientists selected bacteria that benefit the body. Experts have created several drugs containing beneficial bacteria. Subsequently, the study of the properties of bacilli continued: scientists deciphered the structure of the bacillus DNA, studied its structure, and sought to recreate the bacterium artificially. In the 1990s, scientists created a recombinant strain of Bacillus subtilis, which became the basis for the drug Vetom.
For your information! Currently, experiments to create new probiotics continue in various laboratories and institutes.
The cat's immunity depends on the state of the intestinal microflora
Cost and analogues
One of the advantages of the Vetom biological additive is its low price. As of January 2021, the cost of 5 g of powder was 15 rubles, 50 g 150 rubles. Other mono- and polycomponent probiotics containing live bacteria are also used in veterinary medicine. Comparative characteristics of analogues are presented in the table:
| Analogue | Release form | Compound | Cost, rub. | Peculiarities |
| Will argue | powder, suspension | Bacillus subtilis 12B | 60 (5 g powder), | Has antifungal effect |
| Florentine | tablets, paste | Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus clausii, Lactobacillus sporogenes, vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP | 800 (30 tablets or 15 ml paste) | Contains a complex of pro- and prebiotics, vitamins |
| Bioprotectin | capsules | Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus fermentum, milk thistle fruit extract | 360 (15 capsules) | Has hepatoprotective properties |
| Lactobifadol | powder | Acidophilus bacteria, bifidobacteria, vitamins and minerals, amino and organic acids | 125 (50 g) | Enriched with a vitamin-mineral complex, contains several types of beneficial bacteria |
| Symbolact | fine mixture, suspension for animals weighing up to 4 kg | Lactobacilli, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, micro- and macroelements | 135 (suspension, 12 ml) | Highly effective thanks to many active ingredients |
| Lactobifid | pills | Bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, streptococci | 90 (20 tablets) | Has a complex effect |
pharmachologic effect
Bacteria of the genus Bacillus subtilis enter the cat’s intestines and secrete enzymes and substances similar to antibiotics:
Thanks to the appearance of these beneficial substances in the intestines, inflammation goes away, absorption improves and metabolic processes improve. The body better absorbs proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, bile salts, dipeptides, triglycerides, calcium and iron. Bacteria secrete substances that improve intestinal microflora and acidity. Thanks to their action, cellular and humoral immunity is activated.
Important! The body becomes more resistant to viruses, fungi and pathogenic bacteria.
Vetom is packaged in 5 g sachets.
Contraindications, side effects, symptoms and consequences of overdose
The dietary supplement is safe and can even be used to treat kittens, pregnant and lactating cats. Contraindications are individual intolerance (extremely rare) and diabetes mellitus, since all its forms contain sugar. No side effects were identified during clinical trials. An overdose is not dangerous; excess is easily eliminated naturally.
Sometimes the animal’s body reacts to the supplement with the appearance of diarrhea or its intensification, especially if the dosage has been exceeded. In this case, during the first 3 days, the dose of Vetom is reduced to 50-25% of the recommended instructions for use, then gradually adjusted to normal.
Expiration date, storage and disposal rules for Vetom products
The probiotic in its original packaging can be stored for 4 years from the date of production. Once opened, it must be used within 15 days. The product should be stored at a temperature of 0 to 30 degrees out of the reach of children, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. If the expiration date expires, the integrity of the packaging and storage conditions are violated, the dietary supplement must be disposed of with household waste.
Veterinarian review
Olga Nikolaevna
Many cat owners are wondering: can cats be given Vetom 1.1. This is understandable, because they worry about the health of their pets and want them to be healthy. I can't say anything bad about him. This drug has many indications for use, and it really helps in different situations. But this is not a panacea for treating all conditions indicated in the indications. Vetom 1.1 can be prescribed in combination with other medications. As you understand, it is impossible to self-medicate and prescribe this drug yourself, even though it is safe for the cat’s body. This should be entrusted to a specialist, he will examine the animal, prescribe a course of treatment and the correct dosage. I wish everyone good health!
Irina, owner of the Scottish Fold
My pet suffered from calcivirosis. After treatment with antibiotics, the veterinarian prescribed probiotics. He explained that Vetom will help quickly restore the cat’s body’s defenses after an illness. I bought the medicine in powder. She gave it along with the food, adding Margosha’s favorite pate. The cat happily ate everything, not noticing any extraneous additives.
Olga, owner of a mongrel cat
I found my pet on the street in an exhausted and sick state. Ringworm, helminthiasis, terrible diarrhea - that's what we had to face. The veterinarian prescribed Vetom among other medications. At first I had to feed the solution through a syringe because the cat was weak. Then added to food or water. Now the cat is healthy, we have overcome all the diseases, and Vetom has helped restore intestinal function.
Emma Alexandrovna, veterinarian
Vetom is not a medicine in the usual sense of the word, it is a dietary supplement that helps prevent diarrhea in small kittens and animals recovering from an illness. Bacillus subtilis rapidly multiply in the intestines, normalizing the balance of microflora.
Reviews of the use of Vetom 1.1
Christina
My pet caught fleas and lice on the street. The veterinarian prescribed a course of treatment, and in order to normalize digestion while taking medications, he prescribed Vetom 1.1, saying that it would not be superfluous and would not harm the cat in any way. I bought the medications from the list and was a little surprised at the low cost of the powder. I didn’t think much about how to give the drug. I just added it to my cat's canned food. She didn't seem to notice anything as she ate it as usual. I had to give the powder for a week, but that was enough. Firstly, the cat’s hair loss stopped, and secondly, the animal’s appetite improved. Without a veterinarian's prescription, I would not give this drug, but if it is prescribed, it can be given without fear. Just be sure to check the dosage.
Olga
I can only say the best about Vetom 1.1. For my kitten it turned out to be a lifesaver. The fact is that I picked up a kitten on the street. I could barely hold on. I immediately took him to the vet. The kitten was very malnourished, with weak immunity and dysbacteriosis. Plus several other diseases. This drug was prescribed among other medications. After completing the course of treatment, my new friend noticeably became prettier and cheerful. Then the veterinarian separately prescribed a course of Vetom 1.1 to finally bring the kitten’s body and immunity back to normal. But the main thing is not to overdo it with the drug, always check the dosage.
Analogues of the drug
Vetom has no complete analogues. This drug can be replaced with other probiotics. These medications include:
- Viyo,
- Pro-kolin,
- Bactoneotime,
- Bioprotectin,
- Biosporin,
- Bifitrilak,
- Vitasporin,
- Zoonorm,
- Intestevit,
- Kanigest,
- Coredon,
- Lactobifadol forte,

Only a veterinarian should select and prescribe an analogue of the drug to a cat. You should not self-medicate so as not to harm your pet.
A cat's health depends on its strong immune system. Probiotics have a beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora and provide reliable protection to the pet’s body.
