Neomycin And Polymyxin ...

Neomycin And Polymyxin B Sulfates

Properly cleanse area to be treated. Foreign bodies, crusted exudates and debris should be carefully removed. Express a small quantity of ointment into the conjunctival sac beneath the lower eyelid three or four times daily. After application hold the eyelids shut for a short time so that a thin film of ointment covers the cornea.
Artificial Tears

Artificial Tears

Pull down lower lid of the affected eye(s) and apply small amount (one-fourth inch) of ointment to the inside of the eyelid, one or more times daily, or as directed by a doctor.
Artificial Tears

Artificial Tears

Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.
Ciprofloxacin

Ciprofloxacin

Flush the affected eye as needed, controlling the rate of flow of solution by pressure on the bottle.
Anased

Anased

DosageHorses: Intravenous — 0.5 mL/100 lb body weight (0.5 mg/lb or 1.1 mg/kg). Intramuscular — 1.0 mL/100 lb body weight (1 mg/lb or 2.2 mg/kg).Cervidae: Administer intramuscularly, by either hand syringe or syringe dart, in the heavy muscles of the croup or shoulder.Fallow Deer (Dama dama) — 2.0 to 4.0 mL/100 lbs body weight (2.0 to 4.0 mg/lb or 4.4 to 8.8 mg/kg).Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) — 1.0 to 2.0 mL/100 lbs body weight (1.0 to 2.0 mg/lb or 2.2 to 4.4 mg/kg).Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) — 1.0 to 2.0 mL/100 lbs body weight (1.0 to 2.0 mg/lb or 2.2 to 4.4 mg/kg).White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) — 1.0 to 2.0 mL/100 lbs body weight (1.0 to 2.0 mg/lb or 2.2 to 4.4 mg/kg).Elk (Cervus canadensis) — 0.25 to 0.5 mL/100 lbs body weight (0.25 to 0.5 mg/lb or 0.55 to 1.1 mg/kg). Following injection of xylazine, the animal should be allowed to rest quietly until the full effect has been reached.These dosages produce sedation which is usually maintained for 1 to 2 hours, and analgesia which lasts for 15 to 30 minutes. Preanesthetic to Local AnesthesiaXylazine at the recommended dosages can be used in conjunction with local anesthetics, such as procaine or lidocaine. Preanesthetic to General AnesthesiaXylazine at the recommended dosage rates produces an additive effect to central nervous system depressants such as pentobarbital sodium, thiopental sodium and thiamylal sodium. Therefore, the dosage of such compounds should be reduced and administered to the desired effect. In general, only 1/3 to 1/2 of the calculated dosage of the barbiturates will be needed to produce a surgical plane of anesthesia. Post-anesthetic or emergence excitement has not been observed in animals preanesthetized with xylazine.
Xylazine has been used successfully as a preanesthetic agent for pentobarbital sodium, thiopental sodium, thiamylal sodium, nitrous oxide, ether, halothane, glyceryl guaiacolate and methoxyflurane anesthesia.
Anased

Anased

Dosage Intravenous — 0.5 mL/20 lb body weight (0.5 mg/lb or 1.1 mg/kg)Intramuscular or Subcutaneous — 1.0 mL/20 lb body weight (1.0 mg/lb or 2.2 mg/kg)In large dogs (over 50 lbs) a dosage of 0.5 mg/lb administered intramuscularly may provide sufficient sedation and/or analgesia for most procedures.Since vomiting may occur (see SIDE EFFECTS), fasting for 6-24 hours prior to the use of xylazine may reduce the incidence; the I.V. route results in the least vomiting.Following injection of xylazine, the animal should be allowed to rest quietly until the full effect has been reached.These dosages produce sedation which is usually maintained for 1 to 2 hours and analgesia which lasts for 15 to 30 minutes. Preanesthetic to Local AnesthesiaXylazine at the recommended dosages can be used in conjunction with local anesthetics, such as procaine or lidocaine.
Preanesthetic to General Anesthesia

Xylazine at the recommended dosage rates produces an additive effect to central nervous system depressants such as pentobarbital sodium, thiopental sodium and thiamylal sodium. Therefore, the dosage of such compounds should be reduced and administered to the desired effect. In general, 1/3 to 1/2 of the calculated dosage of the barbiturates will be needed to produce a surgical plane of anesthesia. Postanesthetic or emergence excitement has not been observed in animals preanesthetized with xylazine.

Xylazine has been used successfully as a preanesthetic agent for pentobarbital sodium, thiopental sodium, thiamylal sodium, nitrous oxide, ether, halothane and methoxyflurane anesthesia.

SIDE EFFECTS: Emesis occurs occasionally in dogs, and frequently in cats, soon after the administration of xylazine, but before clinical sedation is evident. When observed, emesis usually occurs only a single time, after which there is no further emetic effect. The use of antiemetics may delay this phenomenon. The occurrence of emesis may be considered a desirable effect when xylazine is administered as a preanesthetic to general anesthesia.

Xylazine used at recommended dosage levels may occasionally cause slight muscle tremors, bradycardia with partial A-V heart block and a reduced respiratory rate. Should excessive respiratory depression or bradycardia occur following the use of AnaSed (xylazine), administer yohimbine to rapidly reverse the xylazine-induced effects.

Gaseous distension of the stomach may occur in dogs treated with xylazine making radiographic interpretation more difficult.3

Movement in response to sharp auditory stimuli may be observed.

Increased urination may occur in cats following the use of xylazine.
Yobine

Yobine

For intravenous injection. The usual dose is 0.5 mL/20 lb body weight (0.05 mg/lb, or 0.11 mg/kg) to reverse the sedative effects of xylazine. The carefully calculated dose of yohimbine should be given intravenously slowly.
Butorphic

Butorphic

The recommended dosage in the horse is 0.1 mg of butorphanol per kilogram of body weight (0.05 mg/lb) by intravenous injection. This is equivalent to 5 mL of Butorphic Injection for each 1000 lbs body weight. The dose may be repeated within 3 to 4 hours but treatment should not exceed 48 hours. Pre-clinical model studies and clinical field trials in horses demonstrate that the analgesic effects of Butorphic Injection are seen within 15 minutes following injection and persist for about 4 hours.
Tolazine

Tolazine

The Tolazine dose is 4.0 mg/kg body weight or 1.8 mg/lb (4 mL/100 kg or 4 mL/220 lb) to reverse the sedative effects of xylazine. The carefully calculated dose of Tolazine should be given slowly by intravenous injection. Administration rate should approximate 1 mL/second.1,5

The table demonstrates the correct injection volume based on body weight:
Body Weight (kg) Body Weight (lb) Tolazine Injection Volume 250 kg 550 lb 10 mL 500 kg 1100 lb 20 mL
