Conventional and long-acting injections require different schedules; long-acting behavior does not apply to IV administration. Limit IM volume to 10 mL/site in cattle and 5 mL/site in pigs.
Inject IV slowly and monitor hydration, renal function and gastrointestinal signs. Use diluted injection immediately; protect stock from light.
Unnormalized local protocols include equine intrauterine 1-5 g using povidone-based products only. Canine tear-staining reports use 25-50 mg/day with two-week on/off cycles; antimicrobial stewardship and uncertain benefit limit this indication. Pregnant-ewes campylobacteriosis and some bovine anaplasmosis/listeriosis lines lack an explicit route; they are not assigned one.
