Vecoxan dose??
« on: May 03, 2013, 12:49:57 pm »
Does anyone know if the dose for goat kids is the same as for sheep?
 
The vet is phoning the company to check but hadn't been able to get a reply yet so has dispensed the sheep dose for me but said wait to give it till she phones me.   Seem to be spending alot of time waiting for people to phone back today. ::)

That's interesting, I've just picked up a message from the vet saying it should be twice the dose so call in and pick up some more. Too late to do anything now today so will have to try and sort it tomorrow.

I have just been speaking to our vets this afternoon with exact same question, she assured me same as sheep in this instance ie 1ml per 2.5kg of lamb. Therefore give 4 ml for 10kg goat kid.
So many ideas, not enough hours

She did phone the makers to check but I'm happy to go with peoples experience.
Wonder why the different views though, presumably they know what they're making.
