I was just wondering if I can mix oxytetracyline, and vitamin b complex in one shot? Or do I have to give two seperate injections?
Thanks,

What the heck is the problem? Maybe you should see a doctor. Oxytetracyline, I had to look it up, is for acne. I think you can eat fish for b complex. Stop jabbing yourself with needles. ;-)

Studies show that B vitamins (with the possible exception of niacin) when given orally never make it past the rumen. The microbes use it up. Ruminants get all the B vitamins they need from digesting rumen bacteria. When ruminants need B vitamins it's because something is going wrong in the rumen so it's better to inject it.

Interesting, I have been trying to find some new studies but have come up empty. I was told that it was a decrease in absorption of about 40 - 75 % so to adjust dosage accordingly .
Usually if I have a sick calf it is getting electrolytes anyways so the vitamins are just added to that and the calf is tubed..
I will have to ask my vet again about the break down of b12 and no absorption into the animal when given orally just through a syringe.
