Albon Dosage?

Anybody know the dosage of albon i would give for a 9 pound pup. Its the injectible kind and not the oral kind. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I dunno if this will help you at all...it's for cattle but the preportions should still be relative. Hope it helps-

<nobr>(sulfadimethoxine)</nobr>
<nobr>Boluses</nobr>
<nobr>INDICATIONS FOR USE: Albon is effective in the treatment of shipping fever complex and</nobr>
<nobr>bacterial pneumonia associated with Pasteurella spp. sensitive to sulfadimethoxine; and calf</nobr>
<nobr>diphtheria and foot rot associated with Fusobacterium necrophorum (Sphaerophorus</nobr>
<nobr>necrophorus) sensitive to sulfadimethoxine in cattle.</nobr>
<nobr>Restricted Drug (California)—Use Only as Directed</nobr>
<nobr>Not for Human Use</nobr>
<nobr>DESCRIPTION: Albon is a low-dose, rapidly absorbed, long-acting sulfonamide.</nobr>
<nobr>ACTIONS: Sulfadimethoxine has been demonstrated in laboratory studies to be effective against</nobr>
<nobr>a wide variety of organisms, such as streptococci, staphylococci, and members of the E. coli-</nobr>
<nobr>salmonella group of bacteria. </nobr>
<nobr>Comparatively low doses of Albon give rapid, sustained blood levels required for effective</nobr>
<nobr>disease therapy.</nobr>
<nobr>TOXICITY AND SAFETY: Albon has been shown to be a well-tolerated sulfonamide with relatively</nobr>
<nobr>high solubility at the pH normally occurring in the kidney and with a low degree of toxicity.</nobr>
<nobr>Following the administration of Albon at the recommended dosage, no undesirable side effects</nobr>
<nobr>have been observed.</nobr>
<nobr>DOSAGE: Albon should be administered to cattle so that the initial dose is equivalent to 25 mg/lb</nobr>
<nobr>of body weight and each subsequent daily dose is equivalent to 12.5 mg/lb of body weight.</nobr>
<nobr>Length of treatment will depend on clinical response. In most cases, treatment for 3–4 days is</nobr>
<nobr>adequate. Treatment should not be continued beyond 5 days.</nobr>

Albon is for coccidia or sulphonamide susceptible bacteria. The dosage for your dog would be 2 1/2 cc under the skin or intra-muscular. Then 1 1/4 cc for 6 days. treatment lasts 7 days.

 

thanks alot of the information.

 

i use dimethox 40% which is the same thing as albon. for the treament of goats, it is .08 x 1 lb of weight on the first day, then .04 x 1 lb of body weight for the next 13 days.

 

that much for a 8 # pup will probably kill the dog !! i would give half of a half of that .. i cant find the dossage so i would really hold off CB and let me find the EXACT dosage !!
