Subject: RE: Dart guns for antibiotic treatment


Southwest OK
Micotil would be an ideal antibiotic for eyes and feat. 5ml will clear eyes up. Ten will cure footrot on a 1200 lb cow, if you catch it soon enough.

Just be careful loading the the dart, and wash your hand after.

Best practices apply with darts also. Shoot them in the flat of the neck when using a sub Q drug. Use no more pressure than needed. If the dart doesn't arc, it is flying too fast. This will cause bruising and reduce the efficacy of the drug. Worst case scenario the entire dart will embed in the animal.

All dart guns come with practice darts, and they should be utilized. It is another tool, and is only as good or bad as the hands using it.
