New Livestock Med Laws!!

Babsbag:
How to you accommodate the differences in the injectable and the oral formulations?
Oral:
12.5% Concentrated Solution for Use in Drinking Water
Antibacterial
ANADA 200-030, Approved by FDA
EACH FLUID OUNCE CONTAINS 3.75g SULFADIMETHOXINE SOLUBILIZED WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE

Injectable:

INJECTION - 40%)
Antibacterial
ANADA 200-177, Approved by FDA

Each mL contains 400 mg sulfadimethoxine compounded with 20% propylene glycol, 1% benzyl alcohol (preservative), 0.1 mg disodium edetate, 1 mg sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, and pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide.

It's pretty easy...

One ml of 12.5% Di-Methox = 125 mg
One ml of injectable Di-methox = 400 mg

All one as to know is how many mg per pound or kg to give and how much their animal weighs. From that one just does a little math.

Don't forget everyone the new Livestock med laws go into effect on 1/1/2017...this includes things such as Di-methox oral solution...so stock up if you use this a lot and dont want to have to get a script every time you need it.

I've been thinking about placing an order for some water soluble sulfa, and maybe some neomycin.

better hurry on the sulfa. I am going to get some Scour Halt this week myself.

What is scour halt?

 

[casportpony]

Nevermind, looks like it's Spectinomycin.

 

[babsbag]

It is the only antibiotic I have ever used other than Oxytetracycline and Pen. Good to have on hand and I loaned mine to a friend.

So I wonder if people will be buying up a bunch of antibiotics and then sell them on ebay? Tylan Powder is already prescription only, and I see it for sale on eBay and Amazon.

I'm not sure why TYlan powder is RX and Tylan injectable is OTC....its the same drug.

I'm sure if i ever needed something like Nuflor the animal would just have to die or be shot because these vets here will NOT do a farm call for a "small farm, new client" even after you fulfill the "requirements" they say you need to do. My friends wife ended up finally riding her horse to the vet because she had no trailer and the vet wouldnt come out to see the horse. If we owned a livestock trailer to be able to move livestock i might consider taking the whole herd to the vet but atm we are limited to taking one or two at a time in the back of the trailblazer.

The vet I want to use doesn't do farm calls so I'm looking for a trailer to do just that!

Got my orders in!
