Granny's gone and done it again

Sulfadimethoxine (albon from vet) is different than sulfamethoxazole (cattle tablets from neighbor).

Ok. A cc is the same as a ml. So at 200mg/40mg (which is 1/4 of the strength of the tablet that I have), the 100lb goat would need 2cc, or 2ml, or less than half of the 1/4 tablet. 1/8 of a tablet per 100lbs.

Which still doesn’t get me to 13lbs.

If you trust this info, let's see how close we can get...

It says there is 200mg sulfa drug in 5ml of solution
That means there is 40mg in 1ml or 1cc of solution
Dose is 2cc per 100lbs (80 mg)
1cc per 50lbs (40 mg)
.5cc per 25lbs (20 mg)
.25cc per 12.lbs) (10mg)

Does this make sense? It does not seem like enough.
Where was that info from that you circled?

The tablets I have seen are 800mg/160mg... So 5 mL would be equivalent to 1/4 tablet.
goat site I found

Camping, Kathy joined a goat site just so she can help you. I ran up on her thread. LOL

Ok, that's the difference. PDF I found was for the Albon

Using the label info you posted, a 12.5lb goat gets 10mg.

1/8 of a tablet is 100mg

Circled info was from the tennesseemeatgoat link.

1/8 of a tablet is 100mg

So diluting like you were saying, 1/8 in 10 oz of water and giving a one ounce dose sounds right.

Circled info was from the tennesseemeatgoat link.

So there's the problem... did they report the amount in suspension properly? We are deriving the dosage from that amount, so if it's incorrect...

I have to feed chookins. Back soon
