[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1274284, member: 17767"] The original post asks about the proper dose of TAT when vaccine manufactured by Colorado Serum Company is being administered. I read the manufactory’s detailed dosage instructions and the minimum dose they reference is 1,500 units. See the excerpt from the instructions below: [i]DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Tetanus antitoxin confers immediate passive immunity lasting about 7 to 14 days. 1500 units administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly is the recommended dose for prevention. 5 ml equals 1500 units. Large doses of Tetanus Antitoxin may provide a beneficial response in animals already infected with tetanus, but success of treatment is not assured. For treatment; administer 10,000 to 50,000 units to horses and cattle, 3,000 to 15,000 units to sheep and swine. Animals that suffer slow healing puncture wounds or deep abrasions should be given a second dose of antitoxin in 7 days and additionally as considered necessary.[/i] 1,500 units is 5 mL. Instructions include no lessor dosage then 1,500 units. There is no discussion of reduced dosage for calves. I give the recommended dosage of 5 mL of TAT when I band and also a TT (1 mL) and follow that with another TT in 4 to 6 weeks. Sometimes, I immunize them with the Toxoid before banding or cutting. I always give TAT regardless of previous Toxoid vaccination. So does my vet. [/QUOTE]
