Tummy Trouble!
Tummy Trouble is a dietary supplement which may help relieve your pet from most cases of vomiting, diarrhea, and gas!
Before treating your pet you may want to look into the obvious cause of the problem. If there are any pesticides on your property or blood in the stools you may want to seek Veterinarian attention. However, there are many other reasons for stomach upset.
What Can Cause Vomiting And Diarrhea?
Dietary Indiscretions - The most common cause of vomiting in dogs and ferrets (not so many in cats) are dietary indiscretions – the eating of garbage, grass, plant leaves, etc.
Diet Change - Changing your pet’s diet from one brand to another often causes a few days of vomiting and diarrhea. This problem is worse when the diet is changed to a bargain-priced generic chow high in indigestible protein, to rendering plant meal and roughage, but it occurs even when the change is from one name brand to another. One may want to research rendering plants to see what they are feeding their animal.
Eating too Fast - Dogs, cats and ferrets that are not fed frequently enough or feel competition from other pet members may vomit undigested food soon after eating.
Intolerance to Specific Food Items - Pets love to beg at the dinner table. The fact that you seem to relish a food item makes it fair game to your pet. Hot dogs, pastrami, pizza, deviled ham and so on, get wolfed down fast – but often come back up just as fast. No harm is done. These pets are not allergic to these foods. Dogs and cats have an easy vomit reflex and the slightest irritation of the stomach brings these items back up. If you cannot bear to stop feeding table scraps, feed them in smaller portions. Pleasure is in the eating – not in the portion size. Fatty acids and omegas 3 are good for your pets. If when you are at the dinner table try feeding fish (tuna, salmon etc.) or dark green vegetables such as green beans and celery (green beans and carrots are like candy to a dog). PLEASE be very careful when feeding chicken to your pet. 75% of chicken carries bacteria which will make your pet ill (puppies can get very ill with Parvo like symptoms). The entire chicken must be cooked at high temperatures to kill the bacteria. Once the pet is infected the animal is contagious to other animals depending on the type of infection.
Food Allergy - If you suspect food allergy, try eliminating all foods and re-introducing each food one at a time (give at least 2-3 days time between re-introduction starting with your omega 3s, fish).
Car Sickness - Yes, even pets can get carsick.
Overeating - Some dogs and many cats over-eat when they are fed once a day. This can result in diarrhea, colic and vomiting. Try feeding dogs and cats with this problem smaller meals three times a day or leave the food where they can munch when they please.
Stress - Some pets vent stress through their intestines. This can take the form of vomiting, refusal to eat, diarrhea or blood in the stool.
Antibiotics And Sulfonamides - Many antibiotics and sulfonamides disrupt the normal helpful bacterial flora in the intestine as well as killing pathogenic (dangerous) bacteria. When the normal bacterial flora of the intestine is destroyed, diarrhea may result. Giving your pet yogurt or bacterial gel pastes, decreasing the antibiotic dose, or changing to a different antibiotic will all help. One may also administer acidophilus.
Other Drugs From The Pharmacy - Many medications that are dispensed to your pet can cause diarrhea. Thyroid medication, NSAID’s drugs such as Rimadyl and aspirin, worming medications, and topical insecticides are only a few of the medications that can cause diarrhea.
Adizone is designed to help with irritable bowel syndrome. Swelling in the intestinal tract can cause diarrhea or constipation. Adizone works well if taken with Tummy Trouble or Parvaid.
What If Tummy Trouble Does Not Help My Pet?
You should see some improvement within 48 hours. If your pet continues to worsen while giving Tummy Trouble we recommend taking your pet to your Veterinarian health care provider for further diagnosis.
Suggested Use:
NOMOGRAM (chart):
Pet Weight Tummy Trouble # of Pets Treated
| Under 3 lbs | 2 drops 4 times/day | 13.5 |
| 3-10 lbs | 5 drops 4 times/day | 5.4 |
| 11-20 lbs | 10 drops 4 times/day | 2.7 |
| 21-150 lbs | 15 drops 4 times/day | 1.8 |
| 151-250 lbs | 20 drops 4 times/day | 1.4 |
| 251-300 lbs | 25 drops 4 times/day | 1.1 |
*For heavier pets, add 5 drops for each 100 lbs increment.
For each one ounce bottle, the number of pets that receive a full ten day course of Tummy Trouble is determined by calculating the total absolute dose based on weight (see chart above).
The standard dose for Tummy Trouble is 3-4 times daily administration as needed.
When treating more than one pet with the same dropper. It is necessary to assure sterile administration without carry over from pet to pet. The best way to assure this is to use the dropper only to transfer product to an individual sterile oral syringe—a different syringe for each pet. Those syringes should be sterilized after each use. Each pet should have its own syringe that is not shared with another pet. If a syringe is not readily available, until one can be found, mix the product with a larger volume of flavored fluid (e.g. tuna or salmon water) that is to be lapped from a bowl. However, the use of a syringe assures a more accurate dose.
Long Term Use:
Co-administration of Tummy Trouble with Vibactra Plus is short term. However, there are clinical settings in which Tummy Trouble and Vibactra Plus are utilized beyond a ten day regimen. Tummy Trouble and Vibactra Plus may be used for many months with clinical drug holidays (break) as directed for vomiting, diarrhea, gas, cramps and re-occurring intestinal disorders.
For the first six months of long term use, up to four times daily Tummy Trouble and twice a day Vibactra Plus is administered on a rotating basis—six months of product administration followed by five days in which no product is given. This six month on with five days off staggered schedule may continue as needed for the first eighteen months of chronic use, defined as chronic after the initial ten days of administration.
Administration of Tummy Trouble beyond eighteen months mandates a two week holiday (break) from product before re-starting the same rotating schedule. Tummy Trouble and Vibactra Plus may be administered as described for up to two consecutive eighteen month cycles (mainly to help build the immune system and keep the digestive tract healthy).
A veterinarian health care check-up is deemed necessary during the eighteen months to check for any parasites, bacteria or other complications. If further Tummy Trouble is deemed necessary for the pet, then a minimum six weeks period off product is mandated, as is clinical discussion with your veterinary health care provider or with the staff at Amber Technology concerning re-administration of Tummy Trouble beyond that time period.

The dosing guidelines must be followed exactly as written. Overdose of this product can cause serious side effects, to include irritability, change in behavior, reduced consciousness, vomiting and subsequent dehydration, stupor, coma, or death.

At the first sign of adverse reaction, to include even the more innocuous, one must cease any further use of this product and immediately avail oneself to emergency consultation concerning these adverse effects, which may include emergency assessment. One should have all of the appropriate emergency contact information readily available before starting this or any nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or nutritional supplement. It is recommended that the pet owner, the novice in particular, discuss the use and side effect profile of this and any product with his or her veterinary health care provider.
Co-administration of Tummy Trouble with other agents must be done with caution. In the event of co-administration with other Amber Technology products, one must NOT mix Tummy Trouble with Parvaid and Kitty Distempaid. Co-administration with pharmaceutical medications is considered safe with no known exceptions.
Both normal dosing and overdosing of this product in a pregnant animal statistically increases the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, the benefits of product are outweighed by its risks in the pregnant animal.
