If you are needing to dose a cat or dog or other type of non-reptile, you'll need to research the proper dose.
How is it that I am able to offer Albon without a prescription? We have a lot of rescues that require Albon, so we contacted a local compounder to see about making a 5% Albon solution since you can buy the active ingredient in sulfadimethoxine over the counter at many feed stores or online without a prescription. But it's not designed to be used orally since it's a much higher concentration and is not flavored (it's extremely bitter). Our Albon contains the same active ingredient as prescription Albon at the same concentration. The only difference is the flavoring/mixing agent that we use to make it more palatable. THIS IS GENERIC ALBON! IT IS FLAVORED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE PRESCRIPTION STUFF, AND IT LOOKS DIFFERENT.
What else do I need to know? Keep the reptile well hydrated. After treating a reptile with Albon, you should replenish the good bacteria in the intestine with Acidophiliz+. Most antibiotics and parasite medications wipe out both the good and bad bacteria. Your reptile will be at a higher risk of getting Yellow Fungus Disease if the good bacteria is not replenished. Also, treating with Acidophiliz+ after any type of medication will help increase appetite and energy levels.
You will need to refrigerate Albon once you receive it.
A syringe is not included, if you need one please order one here...
