DOSAGE:

1. One initial dose is recommended for foals less than 2 months of age.

2. A second dose may be administered 4-6 weeks later or based upon experience with similar circumstances of the endemic area.

ADMINISTRATION: The plasma should be kept frozen (-17° to -40° C) until required. It should be thawed using only warm water and then warmed to body temperature. Plasma can be damaged by thawing in very hot water or in microwaves. Administer directly from the bag by slow filtered intravenous infusion. Do not mix with other products. Caution should be taken to avoid volume overload. Complications are very infrequent but may include mild reactions such as tachypnea and trembling. If these symptoms become severe and also include sweating and excessive shaking, it is advisable to slow the rate of administration or to stop and restart in 5 - 10 minutes. If the symptoms recur or persist, discontinue administration.
