6 mg/kg, SC, every 72 h [20]. , has been evaluated in one kinetic study in horses [21]. Following IV administration, it is rapidly eliminated, and therefore, the recommended dose of 30 mg/kg bwt should be administered every 6–8 h to maintain adequate serum concentrations. Cefoperazone, unlike many cephalosporins, has been shown in many species to be eliminated by hepatic metabolism. Although its primary route of elimination has not been determined in the horse, if it is similar to other species, this would raise concerns about a risk of antibiotic- associated colitis, even though no adverse effects were reported in the study.
Formulations Chloramphenicol base is very bitter, and therefore, a palmitate ester was developed to try to improve palatability. Following oral administration, it is hydrolyzed in the small intestine to the freebase form. Chloramphenicol succinate, formulated for parenteral administration, is hydrolyzed in the blood to release the active parent molecule. Formulations for topical and ophthalmic administration have also been developed. Many of these formulations may not be readily available, however.
Although TDM in an effort to prevent toxicity is the best approach, it may not always be available, practical, or affordable. In other species, increases in urine GGT and the GGT–urine creatinine ratio are early indicators of renal toxicity, but they have not proven to be as reliable in the horse. An elevation in the urine protein concentration has been suggested, but not evaluated, as a reliable parameter to monitor in the horse. The least sensitive parameters are blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, as they do not increase until renal damage is well established.
