Vecoxan
- White homogeneous oral suspension containing 2.5mg diclazuril per ml
- To aid in the control of coccidiosis in calves caused by Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii
- Vecoxan oral suspension should be administered with a drenching gun
1mg diclazuril per kg body weight or 1 ml Vecoxan per 2.5kg body weight, administered as a single dose, 14 days after moving into a potentially high risk environment. If a satisfactory response is not observed, then further advice should be sought from your veterinary surgeon and the cause of the condition should be reviewed. It is good practice to ensure the cleanliness of calf housing.
Clinical coccidiosis generally occurs late in the parasite’s life cycle after most of the damage to the calf’s intestine has already been done. This severely damaged intestine can easily be infected by secondary bacteria and/or other agents. In cases of acute clinical coccidiosis treated with Vecoxan,
fluid therapy is essential and the use of an antibiotic should be considered. Symptoms of clinical disease may remain obvious in some calves treated with Vecoxan, even though oocyst excretion is reduced to a very low level, and overall prevalence of diarrhoea is decreased.
