How much toxiban does vetgirl typically use, ml/kg for 1st and subsequent doses when she uses activated charcoal?
Great question – it’s actually totally dependent on the BRAND of charcoal (UAA doses aren’t correctly listed, IMO and you need to double to quadruple the dose). For Toxiban, the dose listed is correct – I typically use 10 ml/kg the first dose, then 5 ml/kg the additional doses. Hope that helps!
