Instructions for the use of Fosprenil for pets
The pet's body is not able to defend itself on its own, as well as resist viral infections. Therefore, veterinarians recommend using the immunomodulator Fosprenil. The instructions for the use of Fosprenil contain a detailed description of the use of the agent for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. It provides dosages, as well as specifics of injection for birds, dogs / cats, fur animals and cattle.
The active ingredient of the drug takes an active part in the metabolic processes of the body. In this regard, the solution is used to increase weight gain. This helps to reduce feed consumption when raising horses and pigs.
Features of the use of the drug Fosprenil
Instructions for the use of Fosprenil show that through the bloodstream the active substance of the drug enters:
- liver;
- spleen;
- reproductive organs.
During the first 3 hours, its concentration in the body reaches its maximum level. The therapeutic effect of the modulator can be observed for 10-16 hours after injection. From the body, chemical compounds are excreted through urine, feces.
Side effects of Fosprenil were not noticed. If you enter it in strictly prescribed dosages, then there will be no allergic reactions.
However, after injection, animals have:
- lethargy;
- lack of appetite;
- temperature increase.
The effectiveness of Fosprenil decreases when the concentrate is diluted with saline.
The drug is not allowed to be used in tandem with anti-inflammatory medicines based on hormones produced by the adrenal glands.
The course of treatment begins at the first signs of a viral infection. If complications are observed, then the dosage is doubled. Therapy is stopped only if symptoms are absent for 2-3 days.
To get the most out of your treatment, it is important to know how to store Fosprenil. For the immunomodulator, choose a dry and dark place, the temperature in which is 4-25 ° C. Then the drug can be used for 2 subsequent years, taking into account the release date.
Detailed instructions for the use of Fosprenil
Increased individual sensitivity to the components of the drug is the main contraindication to its use.
As the instructions for the use of Fosprenil show for pigeons, 5 ways of its introduction are acceptable:
- intramuscular;
- subcutaneous;
- intravenous;
- oral;
- aerosol (airborne).
The meat of domestic animals that have undergone a course of prophylaxis or treatment with an immunomodulator is consumed without any restrictions.
If the viral infection is severe or complicated, then Fosprenil is administered in combination with pathogenetic and sympathetic drugs. If necessary, veterinarians advise to undergo a second course of treatment.
Fosprenil for all cats and dogs
Treatment for viral infections in pets lasts 5 to 7 days. An exception is the plague epidemic. Then clinical therapy is carried out for 2-4 weeks. The dosage of Phosprenil for dogs depends a lot on their age. In addition, these recommendations are also relevant for the treatment of cats.
Single dose (ml / kg) for:
- puppies and kittens - 0.3;
- adult dogs, cats - 0.2.
During therapy, it is forbidden to miss the next injection of the drug. If this happens, then the injection is given at the first appropriate opportunity. As a result, the interval between them remains unchanged.
Phosprenil's instructions for cats contain the same instructions as for dogs.
Maximum daily dosage of the drug:
- for adults it is 0.6-0.8 ml / kg;
- for babies - 0.9-1.2 ml / kg.
In the case of an increase in the volume of the daily dose, veterinarians advise to inject at once at 2-3 points. It can also be divided into 3-4 doses, or ½ dose can be administered, but only into a vein.
Use of Phosprenil in the treatment of fur animals
Secondary infection of Aleutian disease causes irreparable damage to fur animals. Therefore, experts recommend injecting the solution into feed animals after jigging. In this way, the drug is given at intervals of 5-7 days for 1 month. Then it is used for preventive purposes every 2 weeks, right up to the slaughter.
A single dosage of Fosprenil for rabbits follows a simple scheme:
- young animals - 0.3 ml / kg;
- adults - 0.2 ml / kg.
The maximum daily volume of the solution administered to babies of fur-bearing animals should not exceed 1.2 ml / kg. For adult animals, this figure ranges from 0.6 to 0.8 ml / kg.
Fosprenil is also administered concurrently with various kinds of vaccines. This increases the body's resistance to infections. The permissible dose of such a single administration (intramuscularly or orally) is 0.05 ml / kg.
Application of Phosprenil for chickens, pigeons and parrots
Intestinal or respiratory diseases should be treated with immunomodulators. Prevention of intestinal infections in chicks is carried out immediately after their birth, during the first month of their life. In this case, the one-time norm of the product for them is 0.05 ml / kg. According to the instructions for use of Fosprenil for chickens, the specified amount of the drug is dissolved in drinking water. The resulting solution is given to the bird on days 2, 5, 10, 14 and 20 of life.
Preparation of a working solution for aerosol spraying. Add 20 ml of the preparation to 1 liter of water. The solution is poured into an aerosol such as APA or SAG. The agent is sprayed within 15 minutes at the rate of 0.4 ml / 1m³. The event is held for 5 days.
The duration of poultry treatment should not exceed 3 days. The dosage of Fosprenil for parrots is calculated from the body weight of the individual. This is quite difficult to do due to the low weight of the bird. Therefore, on this issue, it is better to contact your veterinarian. Perhaps he will prescribe a different type of immunomodulator.
As the instructions for the use of Fosprenil show, the drug is a very effective remedy in the fight against viral infections. However, for this it is important to use the drug correctly and consistently. Then the result will be able to please the owners.
