Sorry, had a ball game, was hoping someone else was going to answer you.

I am not familiar with duramycin being used for scours, but if that is what the vet recommended then that is what we will go with.

Oxytetracyclene inhibits Penn G, so I am not sure if tetracyclene would do the same. May be no point in giving PennG at the same time.

as far as dosage, that is a good question. Would have been nice if they had told you how to use it.

Use soluble powder in the drinking water at a drug level of tetracycline hydrochloride per gallon to provide 10 mg/pound of body weight per day in divided doses. (Administer for 3-5 days.)
Prepare solution fresh every 24 hours, and do not feed 1 hour before or 2 hours after feeding milk

Does your package say how many grams or mg per teaspoon? or anything like that. I remember my package did, but I don't have my notes any more, and I can't find the label on the internet.

I tried googling and couldn't find it, Glad you found something to go buy. I had all sorts of notes and calculataions on it, I am so annoyed at myself that I am not better at keeping up with my paperwork and past calculations.
