Veterinary Medicine
Conditions of use are limited to therapeutic, parenteral, and individual animal use. Individual parenteral therapy of bovine respiratory disease data on cefquinome-related residues demonstrate that only very small amounts are present in the intestinal tract of treated cattle with gastrointestinal activation.
However, treatment should be short, meaning a single injection daily for about a week. Treatment should only be given by prescription. Cefquinome should not be used in feed or water.
Since 1994, in Europe, it was allowed to treat cattle by prescription only. In 1999, swine were included. By 2005, horses were allowed as well.
In the United States, approval is pending for treatment of bovine respiratory disease. Even so, this is only available by prescription.
Cefquinome are also used for other illnesses, such as “shipping fever,” a pneumonia-like illness commonly found in cattle.

Famous quotes containing the word medicine:
“Socialized medicine, some still cry, but it’s long been socialized, with those covered paying for those who are underinsured. American medicine is simply socialized badly, penny wise and pound foolish.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
