[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 62502, member: 852"] In the case of treatment for severe foot rot, (using oxtetracycline 200mg/mL) with an 1100lb cow who can be caught and given an injection with relative ease every day, would it be more effective to treat her every day with a lower dose (bottle says 5mg/1lb/day), or to treat her with a single dose of 9mg/1lb? That would be a daily dose of 27.5cc vs a single dose of 49.5cc, if I've done the math right. If you were to do the every day treatment (bottle says no more than 4 consecutive days), if you don't see an improvement by the end of the four days, how many days do you wait before giving her another injection? If you were to do the single-dose treatment, how long do you wait before you decide 'it's not working' and give a second dose? And, if you decide it is working, how long do you continue treating her? Up to the point where she's walking sound again might be a long time... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
