Indications
The product is for use in calves in the treatment of infections of the alimentary and respiratory tracts of bacterial or mycoplasmal origin (e.g. pasteurellosis, mycoplasmosis, coli-bacillosis and salmonellosis), where clinical experience supported where possible by sensitivity testing of the causal organism, indicates enrofloxacin as the drug of choice.
The product may also be used in exotic animals (small mammals, reptiles and avian species) for the treatment of bacterial infections of the alimentary and respiratory tracts where clinical experience, supported where possible by sensitivity testing of the causal organism, indicates enrofloxacin as the drug of choice.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Calves Administer via the milk, milk replacer, electrolyte solution or water. The dose rate is 2.5 mg enrofloxacin per kg bodyweight (5 ml per 50 kg) daily for 3 days. This rate may be doubled to 5 mg per kg (10 ml per 50 kg) for 5 days for salmonellosis and complicated respiratory disease.
Medicated fluids should be made up immediately prior to provision on a daily basis.

If the product is to be given via the drinking water, concentrations of between 50 and 200 ppm should be considered as suitable working dilutions; concentrations in excess of 250 ppm should be avoided as precipitation may occur.
The dilution should be made on a daily basis immediately prior to provision, preferably in a glass container.
The use of a 0.5 ml (100 unit) insulin syringe should be considered for the withdrawal of very small volumes of the product and to facilitate dilution prior to administration.
Medicated fluids should be made up immediately prior to provision on a daily basis.

On very rare occasions, mild and transient gastrointestinal disorders, such as vomiting or diarrhoea, may be observed. As a result, anorexia may occur.
In very rare cases, in exotic animals where the recommended dose has been exceeded, neurological signs (ataxia, excitation) can also occur.
During the period of rapid growth, enrofloxacin may affect articular cartilage.
