Call your vet and see if he'll give you the Nuflor without you bringing Minnie in.
Thanks for the link to the label Emily!! No can do on getting a couple syringes of it from the vet, they can't get any of it right now either... which I would think if anyone could get some, a vet would be able to get it.elevan said:Here's the label for Fortified Vitamin B Complex . It's on indefinite backorder again...you might be able to get a couple of syringes from your vet but if not crush up some human pills and mix with yogurt and give orally.Livinwright Farm said:As far as the Vit B shot goes... can someone tell me how much mcg, mg, or what not it has of which Vitamin B's so perhaps I can get the equivilant by using tablets or capsules meant for people instead???
Yes most vets I know have nuflor but they will probably want to diagnose first.Livinwright Farm said:Rx for what? lol Is it something that any vet could get for me? or only a livestock vet? My primary care vet is 1.5 hrs away by the way... if Minnie does have a form of pneumonia I can't risk shipping stress on top of illness... chanced it with Jack, and he died.n.smithurmond said:Nuflor is Rx.

Pneumonia infection or like infections/respiratory.Livinwright Farm said:I will repeat... what IS Nuflor?? I get that it is an Rx, but what is it used for?
The only antibiotic we have in stock on the farm right now is PenG Procaine, and the vet told us there is a much more efficient antibiotic than it, that is dosed orally every other day..??arabianequine said:Pneumonia infection or like infections/respiratory.Livinwright Farm said:I will repeat... what IS Nuflor??

Here is a link on nuflor....that tells about what it is and you can order if you have an rx. Maybe your vet can fax a rx to them or you to get some?

Just googled Tylan 200, it says to inject SQ over the ribs... does this mean pull the skin on her side to tent it and inject... or does this mean above her ribs/on her back...????elevan said:If you have to you can get Tylan over the counter from TSC to treat pneumonia.arabianequine said:Pneumonia infection or like infections/respiratory.Livinwright Farm said:I will repeat... what IS Nuflor??

Albon is another Rx that will treat pneumonia.
But I really think you should push your vet to give you the Nuflor.
You can give it SQ anywhere you would give an SQ injection (tenting the skin).Livinwright Farm said:Just googled Tylan 200, it says to inject SQ over the ribs... does this mean pull the skin on her side to tent it and inject... or does this mean above her ribs/on her back...????elevan said:If you have to you can get Tylan over the counter from TSC to treat pneumonia.
