Indications
Cattle:
For the treatment of respiratory tract infections caused by enrofloxacin-sensitive Histophilus somni, Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and Mycoplasma spp.
For the treatment of mastitis caused by enrofloxacin-sensitive E. coli.
Pig:
For the treatment of bacterial bronchopneumonia caused by enrofloxacin-sensitive Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida and complicated by Haemophilus parasuis as a secondary pathogen in pigs.
Dose to be administered and administration route
Cattle:
The dosage for respiratory disease is 7.5 mg enrofloxacin per kg body weight (BW) for a single treatment by subcutaneous administration (s.c.).
This is equivalent to
7.5 ml of the product per 100 kg BW and day |
Do not administer more than 15 ml (cattle) or 7.5 ml (calf) per injection site (s.c.). In case of serious or chronic respiratory disease a second injection may be required after 48 hours.
The dosage for the treatment of colimastitis is 5 mg enrofloxacin per kg body weight (BW) by intravenous administration (i.v.).
This is equivalent to
5 ml of the product per 100 kg BW and day |
The treatment of colimastitis should be exclusively by intravenous application on 2 to 3 consecutive days.
Pig:
The dosage for respiratory tract infections is 7.5 mg enrofloxacin per kg body weight for a single treatment by intramuscular administration (i.m.).
This is equivalent to
0.75 ml of the product per 10 kg BW and day |
Do not administer more than 7.5 ml per injection site (i.m.). In cases of serious or chronic respiratory disease a second injection may be required after 48 hours.
Method of administration:
Repeated injections should be made at different injection sites.
Cattle:
For subcutaneous injection (respiratory disease) or for intravenous injection (colimastitis).
Pig:
For intramuscular injection into the neck muscles behind the ear.
To ensure administration of the correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The stopper may be safely punctured up to 20 times.
Adverse reactions
In rare cases, transitory inflammatory reactions (swelling, redness) can occur at the injection site. These regress within a few days without further therapeutic measures.
In rare cases, intravenous treatment can cause shock reactions in cattle, probably as a result of circulatory disturbances.
Gastrointestinal disturbances may occur in isolated cases during treatment of calves.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports)
