I'd be very grateful for dosage instructions for all meds. That's the second most asked question following what do I treat a condition with.

I will do my best, that's the tricky part. look at post number one again and you can see how many types of amprolium there are.

@micstrachan this is the thread I started.

While searching for info on the various drugs I noticed that the Sulfamethazine cattle boluses and sustained release, so I don't think those could be used to treat poultry because it would require crushing them. Anyone one know if they could be used?

Edited to add:
I think I found one that could be used, Albon are a 500 mg bolts, so maybe it's just the ones called "Sustain III" that are time release?

Great idea for this thread

Thanks so much for this.

Anyone want to post meds info for Tape Worms and Round Worms? Are there other intestinal parasites that should be on the "short list?" By short list, I mean most common. I am shooting for around five(ish) illnesses/conditions for each body system to start.

Still wondering what will be the best way to share this. @TwoCrows , the first pass at the chart won't be done for awhile yet, but once I have something worthy of posting, how would you post it? You mentioned posting it as a sticky, but what format would you need for that? Can BYC handle pdfs, Google docs links, or any other document sharing?
