Many of the following products and doses are NOT approved for use in sheep and goats. This means that they are used in an extra label manner. Refer to page B647 for additional information on extra label drug use. Using any product in an extra label manner alters withdrawal times. When an approved sheep or goat withdrawal time is not available, a cattle withdrawal is given for reference ONLY. The cattle withdrawal is NOT the approved withdrawal time for sheep and goats. When entire animal doses are given, they are for full-grown adult animals; each dose should be adjusted according to size of the animal. Animals such as pygmy goats and yearlings should receive a lesser amount.

The following references were used as resources for the many of the products:

Many of the extra label dose recommendations came from Pugh DG: Sheep & Goat Medicine, Ed 1, Philadelphia, 2002, WB Saunders.
