Blood levels of oxytetracycline in dogs after oral administration.
Blood levels of oxytetracycline in dogs were determined by a spectrofluorometric method. Doses of 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg body mass were administered as single doses per os. A single dose of 100 mg/kg body mass gave adequate blood levels and the 10 mg dose was inadequate. When doses of 10 and 50 mg/kg body mass respectively were repeated after 12 hours the higher dose gave adequate blood levels. Blood levels after dosing with 3 different commercial products containing oxytetracycline proved the non-equivalence of these products.
