The history of several thousand years and the origin of dogs are mysterious, which fuels interest in them. Ancient people considered xoloitzcuintles to be guides to the other world, so the animals were revered and protected. Another legend talks about the healing abilities of dogs, which saved people from illnesses literally within 24 hours. True, dogs were sacrificed to the Aztec gods, and their meat was even used for food. Today, Sholointcuintles are known as loyal companions and comrades.
In what cases should I give
The drug is specially designed for dogs, so its purpose is quite logical. The main purpose of the product is immunostimulation for weakened dogs. Gamavit is used both as an antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent due to the content of Interferon alpha. It is prescribed for rehabilitation after operations and injuries. The product has a calming effect and increases endurance.
This property of the drug helps the animal cope with stress from going through exhibitions, visiting a veterinary clinic, or attending sporting events. The drug has biotonic and bactericidal properties. It can be used at any age, in the correct dosages.
Its safety and effectiveness have been proven by scientists. Therefore, it is widely used for :
- improving metabolism during the period of active growth;
- additional drug for antiviral therapy;
- restoration of the digestive system;

For piroplasmosis
The product is excellent in the treatment of viral, bacterial, parasitic, and chlamydial diseases. These properties are necessary for the treatment of a dangerous disease carried by ixodid ticks - piroplasmosis.
With timely provision of veterinary care and the use of Gamavit, the animal’s condition improves 10-12 hours after the first application. Piroplasmosis bacteria leave the blood 2-3 days after administration of the drug. The body's condition returns to normal in 3-4 weeks.
The main purpose of prescribing Gamavit for piroplasmosis is to relieve intoxication of the body, which the drug does an excellent job of.
When bitten by a tick
Due to its regenerative, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, Gamavit is prescribed for parasite bites.
It is important to consider that the drug itself is not a therapeutic agent, but a drug for joint therapy with other medications.
When is the drug used?
Thanks to the correctly selected composition, the product has found its wide application in the treatment of:
- ailments of infectious and inflammatory type;
- toxicosis while waiting for replenishment;
- purulent inflammation of the uterus;

- poisoning
The vitamin complex Gamavit for dogs is used for restorative purposes after the treatment of severe chronic illnesses (for example, inflammation of the prostate gland) and in the postoperative period. If injections are administered every day, the dog's condition will improve significantly. Vitamins are often prescribed in a course during the preparation of an animal for an exhibition in order to improve the coat and general condition of the body.
The drug is used at the stage of treating dogs, at any stage of expecting offspring, and it is also recommended for puppies that have just been born. The vitamin complex helps optimize their weight, prevents the development of rickets, improves appetite, and works to strengthen the immune system.
Dosage
The dosage of the drug depends on the purpose of its use. For prophylaxis, the additive is administered intramuscularly at a rate of 0.1 ml per kilogram of animal weight. During treatment or in more severe cases, the dose is increased, and it is 0.3-0.5 ml per kilogram. In this case, injections are carried out three times a day.
For preventive purposes, the duration of the course should not exceed 30 days. If you need to help your cat cope with stress, then just one injection may be needed. Sometimes the veterinarian may prescribe a short course of 4-5 days.
Gamavit is used to improve reproductive function, as well as in preparing a cat for labor. In this case, the dosage is 0.025 ml per kilogram of weight.
It is also practiced to nurse premature or weak kittens with the help of a vitamin supplement. Babies are injected with Gamavit injections at a rate of 0.1 ml per kilogram. With a small kitten's weight, it is difficult to calculate the dose, so it is recommended to feed kittens with a solution from a syringe. This must be done on the first, third, fifth and seventh days after birth.
Injections in adult animals should be given with an insulin syringe. The most suitable place on the cat’s body is the withers, into the skin of which the needle enters as smoothly as possible.
Features of the drug

Dosage for cats
global $ads_google;
//data-ad-slot=”2475549904″ $ads_google = empty($ads_google) ? false : true; ?> if ($ads_google == false) {?> $ads_google = true; ?> } ?> If the drug is used as a disease prevention, the dose is calculated in a volume of 0.1 ml/kg. For effective action, it is enough to administer one dose once every 2-3 days. Prevention lasts 1.5 weeks.
During therapy during the deworming period, in order to prevent the possibility of side effects from the interaction of antiparasitic drugs and Gamavit , the dose is calculated as 0.1-0.2 ml per 1 kilogram of weight.
The medicine is useful during preparation for childbirth: the dose is 0.025 - 0.05 ml/kg. Administration is carried out starting a week before the expected date of birth. If childbirth occurs with complications, the dose must be doubled.
Recovery after surgery also requires help from the immune system: the drug is administered at a rate of 0.5 ml/kg three times a week. The course lasts 3-6 weeks.
Infectious diseases go away easier if Gamavit for cats is administered at a dose of 0.3-0.5 ml/kg 2-3 times a day. It is enough to carry out therapy for 5 days.
For any poisoning, it is necessary to administer a five-fold dose of the drug at once, but before that it is better to ask the opinion of a veterinarian - severe poisoning requires medical knowledge.
The drug Gamavit is administered intravenously. Drip or jet administration is allowed, and if the case is mild, then intramuscular injection can be done.
Home treatment
A serious illness in a dog is often treated in a clinic under the supervision of a veterinarian. Recovering from illness, strengthening the immune system, and improving physical qualities can be done at home. To do this, the pet owner calls a specialist to the house or gives injections himself.
Gamavit is a ready-made liquid for injection. It does not need to be mixed or diluted with saline solution. To comply with the dosage, you need to weigh your pet, and then calculate the number of milliliters. Next, you should open the ampoule and measure the medicine on the scale on the syringe.
If the dog is calm, you can do subcutaneous injections yourself. To do this, pull the skin at the withers, making a kind of loop. Then insert the syringe under your thumb so that the medicine gets inside without touching the muscle. Next, massage the injection site. If everything is done correctly, your fingers will feel a small bump.
Intramuscular injections are best done with an assistant. The assistant fixes the dog on a hard surface, strokes, distracts and calms it. The owner feels the thigh muscle, identifies it with his fingers and inserts the needle to the middle of its length. If the dosage allows, use an insulin syringe. Its needle is more convenient, as it is extremely thin and short.
The most difficult procedure is intravenous injection. To carry out such treatment, it is better to call a veterinarian at home. He will place a catheter in the cubital vein of the front leg and securely attach it to the dog's body. All subsequent injections can be done independently using this device. Your manipulations will not cause pain to your pet, since there is no need to pierce the skin.
Directions for use and doses
After the prerequisites for the use of Gamavit have been identified, they begin to inject it intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously; it is also possible to add injection liquid to the drink, depending on the diagnosis given to the dog. The dosage is calculated as follows:
- for preventive purposes - 0.1 ml per 1 kg of dog’s body weight;
- for therapeutic purposes - 0.3–0.5 ml per 1 kg of dog’s body weight;
- According to the instructions for use, for the prevention of rickets, anemia and for the general strengthening of the puppy’s body, “Gamavit” is administered intramuscularly for 1.5 months, 3 times a week.
Important! In case of severe poisoning, the dosage is increased 5 times, but only 1 injection is given.
If the medicine is used in combination to treat severe infectious and viral diseases, it is injected intramuscularly, twice a day, for 3–5 days or until the dog’s general condition improves.
In addition to Gamavit, the following drugs are also used in veterinary practice to treat dogs: Imaverol, Artroglycan, Fungin, Kanikvantel, Ligfol, Vakderm, Emicidin, Vitam, Kanikquantel ", "Tylosin", "Ivermec", "Catozal", "Tsiprovet", "Ivermectin", "Roncoleukin", "Surolan", "Tsiperil" and "Amit".
Pregnant women during childbirth

When labor approaches, Gamavit is administered at a dose of 0.2 ml/kg.
After childbirth, a 3-5 day course of Gamavit is prescribed according to the following scheme: on days 2, 4, 6, 2 times a day at a dose of 0.2 ml/kg, or applied once a day at a dose of 0.1 ml/kg in a row 3-5 days.
When a bitch is infected, it is preferable to use Gamavit Forte.
Instructions for use and dosage
Many people are interested in questions about how to inject Gamavit into a dog. In fact, both subcutaneous and intramuscular administration are possible here. In addition, you can give dogs water, giving them the medicine in its pure form or diluting the solution with purified water.
In what quantities is Gamavit solution needed? The dosage for dogs depends on many factors, so it is best to consult your veterinarian about this. There are, of course, some recommendations from experts.
For example, for preventive purposes, dogs are injected with 0.1 ml of solution for each kilogram of the animal’s weight. To prevent anemia and hypovitaminosis, it is recommended to administer the medicine 1-3 times a week for 2-4 weeks. With increased physical activity, dogs are given the same dose, but the course duration is 4–8 days.
In order to increase the level of fertility of the animal, you need to introduce 0.025–0.05 ml/kg on the day of mating. The same dose of medication is recommended during childbirth. Newborn puppies are administered 0.1 ml/kg on the first, third and fifth days after birth.
As for treatment, the dose is increased to 0.3–0.5 mg/kg. The duration of the course and the injection schedule are determined by the treating veterinarian, as it depends on the type of disease and the severity of the animal’s condition. For example, for infectious diseases, the above dose is administered 2-3 times a day for five days.
