Has anyone given this medication. I had a filly that spent a week at the intensive care unit with septicemia. The vets at this clinic treat 90% throughbreds, and they really did miracle work to save this tiny filly. They only gave her a 10% chance of survival when she arrived, but I am glad to say she is doing much better. She went in that hospital limp, and couldnt stand for three days, but now can get up and down on her own.
Anyway, one of the medicines given to her, for me to give three times daily, and orally, is chloramphenicol ( I hope I am spelling that correctly).
I read up on it, and seems like it is a very strong drug for a small newborn to be give. Has anyone had any experience with this. They sent home gloves for me to wear when giving it. I read up and seems, it is a very strong antibiotic. Almost seems too strong to me. I do know it must be spaced very evenly every eight hours.
Anyone had any experience with this drug. I do know it can be given for parvo in dogs, and meningitis in humans.
