Administer subcutaneously in the chick's neck region with a sterile needle and syringe (26-gauge) or a clean automatic injection machine at a dosage rate of 0.08 mg to 0.20 mg of Ceftiofur for each chick. 1 mL of solution (50 mg per mL) is enough to treat 250 to 625 chicks. In dogs, this product treats urinary tract infections caused by Proteus mirabilis or Escherichia coli. Administer subcutaneously at a dosage rate of 1 mg of Ceftiofur for every pound of body weight (or 0.1 mL of reconstituted solution for every 5 pounds of body weight).
