1: maybe I have been massively under dosing him? I was doing 0.05ml/lb at 10% solution based on what I had taken down for Tippie and friends reproductive issues. I doubled his does to 1mg twice a day and have started to see a little improvement on the swelling. I was going to just wait in seeing the vet now, which will be day 10 at this dose.
2: I do hope that’s not a mg=ml at 10% solution strength! That won’t happen at almost 70ml!!!
3: I am hoping the vet will do a direct injection at the site, as well as provide a more appropriate antibiotic for the infection. Hopefully in a pill form that I can get into him more easily! Bonus is, I’m going to get a super accurate weight for any medications. If the vet visit doesn’t go well, I will repost in emergencies (again) and tag Kathy on it with pic’s of all the medications I didn’t know the farm had hoarded! There’s a penicillin and at least two other antibiotics I was able to snap pictures of before my milk replacer heist was discovered. I will have to act soon, though before all the sheep are condensed in that area, they make a nighttime trip to quietly “borrow” anything almost impossible. Sheep are disgustingly high maintenance, non-hardy, filthy creatures that require a lot of medical intervention here.
