Horse (Equine)

Clinical context for horse dosing

Equine drug handling has notable species-specific quirks: oral bioavailability is famously low for many systemic antimicrobials (so IV-only routes dominate for several drug classes), and foals are not small adults — dose rules tagged for foals are distinct entries, not extrapolations. Procaine penicillin and other depots have racing-jurisdiction detection windows worth checking against the governing body's rules. Colic, laminitis, and respiratory disease (recurrent airway obstruction, equine asthma) drive much of the pharmacotherapy.
