[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 787572, member: 12607"] There's no reason for anyone to use it in that manner - and I'd want some confirmation from the vets that they're actually doing it that way. What we 'hear' isn't always what's actually happening. LA-200/Tetradure/Agri-mycin, etc. have label applications for one or more of the following - IM, SQ, or IV. The manufacturer has demonstrated to FDA that when given at the label dosage by those approved routes, that blood/tissue concentrations of the antimicrobial agent will reach a specific level, and that tissue/milk residues will be below acceptable levels within an established timeframe. Using those drugs - or any others - in a manner not approved may result in failure of the intended treatment, unacceptable meat/milk residues, damage to tissues, etc. I sure wouldn't waste LA-200 by injecting it directly into the rumen. Who knows how much, if any, of the drug would actually make it into the bloodstream and get to any affected/infected tissue if you injected it into the rumen? No one; because it was never intended to be administered that way - but I can almost guarantee you, it wouldn't get into the bloodstream more quickly or in higher concentrations than when given IM/SQ. If oxytet was the drug of choice, I'd give it IM or SQ - as directed on the package label. I have, on rare occasions, given it IV, but if you can't wait the short amount of time for adequate blood levels to be reached from IM/SQ injections, you're probably not going to 'save' that animal with an IV injection of oxytet, anyway. Going IV with it, you've gotta go SLOW; I never killed one, but I did knock a couple of cows off their feet with it - but they recovered. [/QUOTE]
