Piglington Ali
New Born Pup
I have found posts stating Simon and others prescribe azithromycin 200mg/5ml at 1ml per kg once daily.
My vet has prescribed 0.6ml once daily for my 1.16kg piggy Tiny Tiger for a respiratory infection. This is half the dosing above.
I'm wondering, though, if this is acceptable and that this is usually prescribed within a range and the dose above is just the maximum dose. He has a mild respiratory infection, and has responded very badly to baytril before so my vet may be choosing to be gentle. I can't get hold of her today to check and it's taken long enough to get hold of the medication I want to get on and start it!
I guess I just want reassurance that others have had pigs prescribed at varying doses depending on the issue and severity.
Thank you
