Dosage and Administration:
Infuse the entire contents of one syringe (10 ml) into each infected quarter immediately after the quarter has been completely milked out. Repeat once only in 12 hours. If definite improvement is not noted within 48 hours after treatment, the causal organism should be further investigated. Consult your veterinarian.
Milk out udder completely. Wash the udder and teats thoroughly with warm water containing a suitable dairy antiseptic and dry, preferably using individual paper towels. Carefully scrub the teat end and orifice with 70% alcohol, using a separate swab for each teat. Allow to dry.
ToDAY (cephapirin sodium) is packaged with the Opti-Sert Protective Cap.
For partial insertion: Twist off upper portion of the Opti-Sert Protective Cap to expose 3-4 mm of the syringe tip.
For full insertion: Remove protective cap to expose the full length of the syringe tip.
Insert syringe tip into the teat canal and expel the entire contents of one syringe into each infected quarter. Withdraw the syringe and gently massage the quarter to distribute the suspension into the milk cistern. Do not milk out for 12 hours.
Do not infuse contents of the mastitis syringe into the teat canal if the Opti-Sert Protective Cap is broken or damaged.
Reinfection – The use of antibiotics, however effective, for the treatment of mastitis will not significantly reduce the incidence of this disease in the herd unless their use is fortified by good herd management, and sanitary and mechanical safety measures are practiced to prevent reinfection.
Storage: Store at controlled room temperature 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F); avoid excessive heat.
Caution: ToDAY has a 96 hour milk withdrawal and 4 day meat withdrawal.
