Dycoxan 2.5 mg/ml Oral Suspension for Sheep (lambs) and Cattle (calves)

Lambs:
Prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria crandallis and Eimeria ovinoidalis sensitive to diclazuril.

Calves:
Prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii sensitive to diclazuril.

Administration routes and dosage
Oral use.

To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.

If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or overdosing.

If a satisfactory response is not observed, then further advice should be sought from your veterinary surgeon, and the cause of the condition should be reviewed. It is good practice to ensure the cleanliness of calf housing.

Dosage guide: 1mg diclazuril per kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1ml of the oral suspension per 2.5kg bodyweight) as a single oral administration.

Lambs:
A single oral administration of 1mg diclazuril per kg bodyweight or 1ml of veterinary medicinal product per 2.5kg bodyweight at about 4-6 weeks of age at the time that coccidiosis can normally be expected on the farm.

Under conditions of high infection pressure, a second treatment may be indicated about 3 weeks after the first dosing.

Calves:
A single administration of 1mg diclazuril per kg bodyweight or 1ml of veterinary medicinal product per 2.5kg bodyweight, administered as a single dose, 14 days after moving into a potentially high-risk environment.
