Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is VetOne Calcium Gluconate 23% Solution used for?

Ans: It is used as an aid in the treatment of uncomplicated milk fever (parturient paresis) in cattle. The sterile injectable solution delivers concentrated calcium to help restore normal blood calcium levels during an acute deficiency event.

Q4: Why must the solution be warmed before administration?

Ans: Warming the solution to body temperature before use supports better tolerance during injection and aligns with the labeled handling instructions provided by VetOne for proper and safe administration to cattle.
