I am giving 15 tablets twice a day to my horse. Could you tell me what this takes care of? Is it for pain or an antibiotic? I want to know what it is for - please and thank you.

Put the pills in a cup of warm water. They will dissolve pretty quickly. Then I add molasses to the warm water/dissolved pills and mix it in feed.

I would start by doing it for a month and see how much it improves. That may be all your horse needs. But if they have diaherea you need to stop antibiotics immediately

Usually for an infection you would need to give 16 pills twice a day orally. so 32 a day totall. Each pill is 800mg

Pour a little bit of canned coke over the antibiotic pills and within a few minutes it will turn into a paste that you can mix with grain. The horses easily eat it right up.

My mare has pigeon fever on her mammary gland. It's going around in N. Calif. I was told that giving an antibiotic at this point would be a bad thing. It is draining right now.

The pills dissolve in water easily. I use a small jar (condiment type jar with lid).. put tabs in jar with water, let set about 1 minute or so, shake. pour on a low starch grain pellet, add a cup of applesauce and stir well. my horse eats it readily

Has anyone ever had a horse that was allergic to SulfaTrimeth? It has been prescribed for one of my horses, but I am a little afraid, as he has had allergies to vaccines in the past.

I crush the pills and mix them with applesauce. I get the natural or low sugar kind, this seems to work for my horses. I use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of applesauce with the crushed pills depending on how may pills I have to give. I mix this mixture into some sweet feed and add the regular feed. So far no problems!

Antibiotic, so be sure to complete treatment for as long as Vet recommended!

My Vet told me to use for minimum of 14 days, but I would verify this with your Vet since it is a lung infection. Good luck!

Dissolve in warm applesauce and feed with a large syringe - no needle - . Horses love applesauce.

I mix beet pulp with my horses feed and I crush 15 tablets and mix with it and they eat it right down. Sometimes I do have one that got hurt and he was smart so I did the above and mixed some molasses with it. Sometimes you have to try to cover up the smell or taste they can pick out.

If giving SMZ's the best way to get them to eat the pills is to grind the dose (15 tabs for 1100 lb horse with a coffee grinder) then put in container and mix with a small amount of Guiness beer, (not cheap beer) and then put with beet pulp or feed with a little molasses. Makes a paste and even our picky eaters will eat this mixture. fighting a bacterial infection with SMZs as we speak.
