[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 528729, member: 852"] Can't go off the label -- labeled dosages are useless. I go with 60cc's to a 1200lb cow following surgery, 40-60cc's Twin Penn (the longer acting stuff) for uterine infections. If you work out the math using the Merck Vet Manual, it comes out to about 50-55cc's for a ~1200lb animal. Any vet worth their salt will tell you that with bacterial resistance, the dosages have had to be increased repeatedly. Just isn't effective much anymore. Small animal vets go with 10mL/100lbs, large animal vets use 5mL/100lbs (difference due to higher metabolism in smaller animals). I'm in Laramie... but home is north of Idaho Falls. Where are you?
