Lutalyse question

Post by whatwasIthinking » Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:21 pm

I have a sow that has gone through Pseudopregnancy due to Zearalenone toxins in the feed. I read in an article on mycotoxins is that the only thing to do is change the sows feed and flush her out with lutalyse.
My question is how much should I give her and do I give her two doses like I would to induce labor. I really want to flush her out as best I can. She is a large sow. I was thinking of 3 cc's first shot and maybe 2 cc's 12 hours later. Any ideas.
Dr. Amy or anyone have an idea

LABEL directions say use 2 cc's and that iis what works. You won't need two doses, as this dosage is for any size sow. piggy

One 2 cc dose should be all you need. Changing feed is the best help - ensure that your new feed source is free of mycotoxins.
