Join us for this discussion about the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of flunixin meglumine in goats with Dr. Joe Smith from the University of Tennessee. The primary paper discussed is titled:

“Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Estimated Milk Withdrawal Intervals for Domestic Goats (Capra Aegagrus Hircus) After Administration of Single and Multiple Intravenous and Subcutaneous Doses of Flunixin Meglumine"

Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7248982/

Please remember that flunixin meglumine is only labeled from IV or intramuscular injection and should not be given subcutaneously without the written instructions of a licensed veterinarian in the United States. Use of alternative drugs such as meloxicam is strongly encouraged when IV injections cannot be administered. Practitioners should request withdrawal guidance from the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Database (FARAD) before recommending extra-label administration of a medication.
