Dr. G.F. Kennedy of the Pipestone Vet Clinic offers his thoughts on a new method of treating sheep experiencing toxemia in the final weeks of pregnancy.
"There is a report from Israel that the use of Flunixin Meglumine at 2.5 mg per 1 kg or 1 cc per forty pounds of body weight administered intramuscular, in conjunction with conventional treatment can provide much better results treating pregnancy toxemia than conventional methods alone.
“The anti-inflammatory Flunixin is better known by the trade name Banamine. Animals were treated for three days. I suspect subcutaneous injections would work as well.”
