Question about Ronivet

Post by nelloyello11 » Wed Nov 09, 2011 9:36 pm

My zebras are drinking more water than usual lately (I think because the heat makes the air drier).
Does this make a difference for medications, specifically Ronivet12%? My concern is that if they are drinking more water, they are getting a higher dosage.
Does anyone think this is unsafe?

If you are using a 12% it should be fine since you can 2.5 x's the dose and still be ok... or if you are using the 6% you can 4 x's it and be ok. They may even be bathing in it with the heat on...mine bathe in probiotics!!!!!!!

Nelissa, when treating pairs that have chicks in the nest the parents ate and drank everytime they went to feed, it should be fine.

The last few days it's been at least mid to high 60s during the day, but quite a bit chillier during the night. Unseasonably warm, and I can't say I'm disappointed! Haha
