[ Google Scholar] Calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate help bind phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing its availability. The results of this study suggest that the galenic form of the supplements could be an important factor. Rubenal® is presented as a tablet, where, once again, if the owner is experienced enough, forced administration could ensure that the complete dose was received on each occasion. However not all cats are amenable to this. The refusal of the product by the majority of the cats may be linked to the absence of a specific palatability agent and the large size of the tablet (approximately 15mm). It could have been possible to try to crush the tablet to form a powder, and it may have been interesting to have observed whether this may have reduced the proportion of cats which totally refused to consume the product. Likewise, the co-administration with highly palatable food may have had an impact on the results with this product. In case of regurgitation, it is recommended, with caution, to temporarily reduce the recommended amount of product for a few days and to consult your veterinarian if this regurgitation persists.
