INDICATIONS

• Cattle (including calves, beef, dairy, and veal):
  • Respiratory Infections: Bacterial pneumonia, pasteurellosis (shipping fever).
  • Alimentary Infections: Salmonellosis, colibacillosis.
  • Other Infections: Infectious pododermatitis (foot rot), septicemia.
• Swine (Pigs):
  • Respiratory Infections: Bacterial pneumonias, atrophic rhinitis.
  • Alimentary Infections: Colibacillosis, post-weaning scours, bacterial gastroenteritis.
  • Reproductive/Systemic: Mastitis-Metritis-Agalactia (MMA) syndrome in sows, bacterial arthritis.
• Horses:
  • Respiratory infections caused by Streptococcus spp., Pasteurella spp..
  • Genital infections, acute strangles, and wound infections.

ADMINISTRATION

• Cattle, Sheep, and Goats: Deep intramuscular injection is preferred. In cases of acute, severe infection, it may be administered via slow intravenous injection.
• Swine (Pigs): Primarily by intramuscular injection.
• Horses and Dogs: Slow intravenous injection is generally required.
  • Warning: Rapid IV injection in horses can cause severe shock reactions.
• Cats and Guinea Pigs: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. 
• Administration based on weight: The amount of medication administered is typically determined by the animal’s body weight, and it is usually given once every 24 hours for a specified duration.
• Duration of treatment: Treatment is usually continued for a few days after the symptoms of infection have resolved. 
• Injection Site: For cattle and pigs, the neck muscle is often recommended to minimize meat damage.
• Split Injections: If a large volume is required, it should be divided between multiple injection sites to reduce tissue irritation.
• Adequate Hydration: It is crucial that animals have access to drinking water during treatment to prevent kidney damage (crystalluria).
