[QUOTE="docjoeinouray, post: 286110, member: 4989"] You CAN use lA 200 in horses. Plumb's veterinary drug book cites 5-10 mg per kg [u]IV[/u] twice daily for susceptable infections. I often use 20 mg per kg (4.5 cc per 100 lbs) once IV as a first line of treatment for horses with minor respiratory infections in cases where I cannot retreat (herds, wild, etc) easily. Now realise that Oxytetracycline sometimes has photosensitivity associated with it's use and (rarely) can cause blood dyscrasias in horses above and beyond any allergic reaction. Give [u]very slowly [/u] as oxytet binds (chelates) calcium and if given too quickly can cause trembling or even collapse. BTW We also use IV oxytet at 3-4g per foal IV in cases of flexor tendon contracture because of the calcium chelating effects. Also check frequently by aspiration of blood into the syringe to make sure you are in the vein because the tissue reactions can be quite marked as was mentioned above. Finally, I don't know what happened to that poor guys dog. I have never heard of LA200 completely removing a dog before. [/QUOTE]
