Q & A
- Q. Can i dissolve in water before i put in my pony's feed.
- A.
Yes, that's fine - when you think about it, it'll be dissolved in the stomach anyway, so as long as its fed immediately, there shouldn't be a problem.

MyVetMeds - Q. Can a pony be give a 10day course of 2 scahets a day, five days after course has finished another 15day course of 2 sachets a day due to an infection or would this be too much for a ponies sysyem?
- A.
It depends on the infection and the size of the pony - for some diseases (like osteomyelitis), such high doses are often necessary; and for a heavy 14.2 it wouldn't be a problem.
Ultimately, your vet will have made the decision that this dose and frequency is necessary, and without knowing the case myself, I can't say whether its right or not. I can say that there are situations when its not just OK to use these doses, but actually necessary!
However, if you're concerned, I suggest you have a chat with your vet; meanwhile, make sure the pony has access to plenty of fresh water at all times, and keep an eye on his droppings to make sure they don't get too sloppy (this can be a warning sign of antibiotic problems).
I hope this helps,
