Aids in Milk Fever (hypocalcaemia) and aids in preventing its inception during the first weeks of lactation.
At the first sign of Milk Fever, the treatment should be regarded as urgent.
To lessen the danger of the cow choking it is recommended that an effort is made to ensure the cow is sitting up if possible.
A bale of hay or a fence post can be used to prop the cow up if available. If possible, warm solution to body temperature prior to injection.
Snap the tip off the plug, ensuring the solution can flow freely and connect the sterile needle provided.
Disinfect the injection site and insert the needle under the skin of the neck or over the ribs.
Gently squeeze the bag to inject the contents.
The area should be massaged firmly following injection to allow for quicker absorption of the solution.
If the cow does not respond to Double Cal within 3-4 hours repeat injection and seek veterinary advice.
Note:
Minbal 4 in 1 should be used when the animal does not respond to Rudduck Double-Cal as the animal may be lacking in other minerals.

Common Questions
What is Double Cal used for?
Double Cal aids in treating milk fever (hypocalcaemia) in cattle and sheep, and helps prevent it during the first weeks of lactation. Treatment should be regarded as urgent at the first sign of milk fever.
How do I inject Double Cal safely?
Double Cal must be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) only — never intravenously, as this can be hazardous. Disinfect the injection site on the neck or over the ribs, insert the sterile needle provided, and gently squeeze the bag to deliver the contents. Massage the area firmly after injection to aid absorption. If possible, warm the solution to body temperature first, and ensure the cow is sitting up to reduce choking risk. All care must be taken to deliver the dose slowly while monitoring the cow's heart closely. If in doubt, consult a registered veterinary practitioner.
What should I do if the cow doesn't respond?
If the cow does not respond to Double Cal within the timeframe shown on the label, seek veterinary advice immediately. Your vet may recommend a different product if the animal is lacking other minerals.
