Thank you! FR is a lifesaver!
So a dose for 200 pounds is one gram of the 1.87% paste, with six doses per six gram tube. Do I have that right?
Yes! (Approximately.)
6 times 200 lb equals 1200 lb. But the tube has enough to treat 1250 lb of horse. So there would be a bit left over.
No need to be exact. The horse dose is 200 mcg/kg, and the people dose is 150-200 mcg/kg, so the horse dose is the high end of the people dose. Also, much higher doses (600 mcg/kg) are safely used in people, so you do not have to worry about giving a bit too much.
If you have to sneak it into the patient, you can hide the paste in something edible like a twinkie, if the patient is able to eat that. The apple flavoring helps.
