[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 33341, member: 147"] Read the LABEL, there is a difference between them, one has a higher conc. of drug than the other. Always strip the milk out before using an intramamary infusion product, if quarter is hard, massage till it gets soft, some of these will for an infection that will cause the quarter to rupture and then it is too late, one less quarter to milk out of, your done, beef or dairy, makes no difference, still a cow in lactation I treat aggressivley, if you are going to keep calf on cow do it 2x a day until milk from that quarter is normal for a minamum of 2 days, if pulling the calf, strip each time and do 1X per day stripping quarter before each treatment, continue till you are 2 days out with clear healthy looking fluid, no chunks, curds, foul smelling goo, or custardy yellow gunk, also check the other quarters and make sure they are not starting to develop mastitis as well OH, sometimes if you have a grumpy cow it is easier to strip the quarter from the opposit side, so as not to get kicked in the head! Some rank cows are smart and will still try to kick, but most are good for this Also, clean teat before inserting intra-mamary infusion, you don't want to introduce more harmful bacteria to a really great growth media, milk has lots of sugars to grow bacteria.
