Janan De Welzim, [03 Feb 2025 at 12:46:05 PM]: Hi there. Is it safe to feed a buffalo carcass that someone injected Draxxin Plus into to lions? Zoe Glyphis, [03 Feb 2025 at 1:28:54 PM]: How was the Draxxin injected? Was the buffalo immobilised? Janan De Welzim, [03 Feb 2025 at 1:39:27 PM]: Drop out dart from a client. No opioid or any sedation. Jacobus Roux, [03 Feb 2025 at 1:42:55 PM]: Draxxin is an antibiotic, so I would say it is safe to give to lions Ulf Tubessing, [03 Feb 2025 at 1:48:52 PM]: How on earth does one administer a sufficient dose of Draxxin for a buffalo via drop out dart? Janan De Welzim, [03 Feb 2025 at 2:49:06 PM]: Sorry. I speak under correction – the buffalo was down and not in a good way. The farmer just walked up and injected it. Zoe Glyphis, [03 Feb 2025 at 4:12:46 PM]: Draxxin plus contains ketoprofen, so normal caution should be taken when giving an NSAID to a captive carnivore. It's half-life is only about 2.5 hours. Also remember it's toxic to vultures. Probably better if he feeds it to the lions... Janan De Welzim, [03 Feb 2025 at 4:17:07 PM]: Thank you.
