Can I use swine Excede medication for my horse or cattle safely?

You should only give your pigs antibiotics for a medical reason diagnosed by a vet. Then the length and frequency of dosing will be determined by the severity and type of condition. Usually it involves a daily injection for 5 days up to 2 weeks. Unfortunately I cannot legally give you specific information about prescription drugs, but your vet will be able to advise you. There are various antibiotics and antinflammatories of use in swine.

The average dosage of SMZ-TMP for dogs is about 13mg per pound given once daily. For a 50 pound dog this would be about 650mg daily. However, if you need to give a medication such as SMZ to your dog it is best to contact your local veterinarian for the correct dosage and usage information as this dosage can vary depending on your dog's personal needs or illness. Antibiotics should only be given under direct veterinary supervision as the antibiotics you have on hand may not be the correct dosage or even type for your dog's current condition. Giving a medication in the wrong dosage or frequency may make the illness worse or cause side effects that are detrimental to your dog.

If you are sure the horse will eat all of the feed with the paste, you can add it. However it would be better to directly give the paste into the mouth as it is a very expensive medication and your horse needs the full dose appropriate for its weight. Giving the paste directly into the mouth, then holding the mouth shut for a few seconds will ensure the paste is swallowed. If you are not sure how it is done, ask some of the barn mates to help you dose your horse.

Yes it is safe, however stick to the dosage recommendations given on the bottle and realize that there is a prescribed waiting period to be kept before taking them to freezer camp. You will need to do all your pigs and clean their bedding out .

Ideally, you should confirm the infection with your farm veterinarian. Topical treatment may be more effective than systemic treatment. Additionally, confirm the antibiotic is appropriate as inappropriate antibiotic use may lead to resistant bacteria or can delay diagnosis. Given the size of the pig, consider a 16ga or 18ga needle. Be sure the injection site is clean and dry to prevent injection site reactions or infection. Confirm any dose with your veterinarian prior to administration. If the pig is to be processed, be sure to adhere to withdrawal times before slaughter.

Medications get approved after going through many tests. If the test for a certain medication preparation (e.g. Ivermectin comes in various oral pastes, injection solutions, chews, spot ons, etc) is done for a particular animal species only, then it will only be licensed for that. So Heart Guard chews would not be licensed for horses or cattle , as it was not tested for them to be protected against heart worms, but since it was tested on dogs to be effective against heart worm, it would be licensed for dogs.. Ivomec injection solution was tested against certain parasites in cattle and therefore would only be licensed for cattle, unless the company manufacturing the injection solution would test it on dogs against heart worm also, It's complicated. Some preparations of the same medication may be detrimental for one species , but not for another, yet the basic medication may be the same. I hope this helps with your query. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concern

In most cases, administering the larger dose would be recommended. The one caveat is that some cattle breeds are sensitive to invermectin. If the medication contains invermectin and Addie happens to be a dog with a sensitivity it could result in neurologic symptoms such as seizures. If the medication does not contain invermectin, it should be fine to administer the flea medication for dogs over 55.5lbs.

Hello. There is a dose range for SMZ-TMP depending on what the drug is being used to treat. An average dose for an 80-pound dog would be 545 mg every 12 hours, but doses of up to 1636 mg are routinely used in some more serious conditions. So your dose may be appropriate for your pet, especially if she is responding to the medication. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

The recommended oral dosage of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid per kg of body weight is 6.25 mg twice daily. That translates to 185 mg per dose, the volume will depend on the milligrams per milliliter concentration. If your Clavamox is 50 mg/ml that is 3.7ml per dose.

Ivermectin in pigs can only be given by subcutaneous injection at the neck, so no you cannot give it to Penelope orally. I would have a friend come over to help hold her so you can give her the shot.
