Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / August 2004Help! Recommended canine Oxytocin doses / protocol
I'd like to know the recommended Oxytocin dosage for a 170 pound English Mastiff. Mike > I'd like to know the recommended Oxytocin dosage for a 170 pound English > Mastiff. > > Mike Lemme guess....you got yerself a dystotic Mastiff. Unless you live in an area where there's no oncall or emergency vet (which means the middle of Alaska and the like), put the dog in the car, go to the clinic, and ask the vet there how much oxytocin he's giving her while he's treating the dystocia. Sadly, I wish that were the case. I lost Lacey due to gross errors by an emergency room vet. She administered 900 units of oxytocin over seven injections. I think it's enough for 9 horses. Just trying to find the proper dosage, and/or what would be considered extreme. Mike > > I'd like to know the recommended Oxytocin dosage for a 170 pound English > > Mastiff.

Around here exclamation points usually mean "Help! I need emergency advice and I'm too cheap to go to the vet!". The dose I've got (Papich formulary) is 5-20 U/dog, intramuscular or subcutaneous, repeated every 30 mins. for primary intertia. Sorry for your loss. Thanks very much. Will avoid the "!" in the future. Mike > > Sadly, I wish that were the case. > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > subcutaneous, repeated every 30 mins. for primary intertia.
