[QUOTE="mdw, post: 1733673, member: 42406"] You are not going to hurt by giving multiple injections of Draxxin. I had one calf that I had to give Draxxin every other day because giving one injection would only last for 36 hours before the temperature spiked again. More importantly, when you give Banamine, also give meloxicam. The Banamine will work immediately and the meloxicam will take a day to really kick in. You give them meloxicam at a loading dose (1mg/kg) the first day, and then give it every second or third day after that at half the loading those. It’s oral, it’s cheap, it’s safe, and it works. You can crush up the tablet and mix it with a little Karo syrup and then give it orally through a syringe that you’ve cut the top off of. [/QUOTE]
