Call your vet and see if he'll give you the Nuflor without you bringing Minnie in.

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???
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.
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.

Nuflor is Rx.
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.

Yes most vets I know have nuflor but they will probably want to diagnose first.

The fortifed vit. B complex is gone and out everywhere nation wide. No vets or feed stores around here have any.

I was able to get me some from jeffers online but I checked again after I ordered and it is out now.

My bottle says.....

Each milliliter contains......

Thiamine Hydrochloride B1 (100)mg
Riboflavin B2 (5)mg
(as Riboflavin 5/1- Phosphate Sodium)
Niacinamide (100)mg
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride B6 (10)mg
d-Pathenol (10)mg
Cyanocobalamin B12 (100)mcg
With Citric Acid and Benzyl 1.5% v/v (preservative).

Adult cattle-1 to 2 ml per 100lbs of body weight.

Calves, sheep, and swine-5ml per 100 lbs of body weight

Maybe repeated daily, if indicated.

Hope this helps!

I will repeat... what IS Nuflor?? I get that it is an Rx, but what is it used for?
Pneumonia infection or like infections/respiratory.

It is an antibiotic.

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?

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..??

If you have to you can get Tylan over the counter from TSC to treat pneumonia.

Albon is another Rx that will treat pneumonia.

But I really think you should push your vet to give you the Nuflor.

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...????

Vet is too far away to get anything to Minnie or Daisy ASAP... thinking we will go the Tylan 200 route... especially since I KNOW this is a product our TSC actually carries!

IF it is pneumonia, would it be safe to give Momma(assuming she is within a week or two of kidding) a preventative dose to keep her from catching it too?

You can give it SQ anywhere you would give an SQ injection (tenting the skin).
Tylan 50 4 ml / 25# SQ injection for 5 days
Tylan 200 - 1 ml / 25# SQ injection for 5 days


But again...Nuflor is best if your vet will give it.
