Rispoval Pasteurella
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not vaccinate unhealthy animals, pregnant animals or heifers at the time of breeding.
A mild, transient fever might be observed 24 to 48 hours after vaccination in some animals. Temperatures return to normal in the following 24 to 48 hours without remedial action.
A mild, transient local swelling might be observed at the site of injection 24 to 48 hours after vaccination in a small number of animals. These swellings do not cause discomfort to the animals even on palpation. In the majority of cases site reactions are undetectable by 14 days after vaccination but occasionally might be observed for up to 48 days. The average size of any reaction 48 hours after intramuscular vaccination was 5 cm in diameter reducing to about half that size by day 5.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals
To the user
This product is a mineral oil-based compound. Accidental self-injection may result in severe pain and swelling and could result in loss of the affected finger or thumb if prompt medical attention is not given.
Ensure that the method of restraint, handling and administration, e.g. by the use of guarded needles, minimises the risk of accidental injection/self injec- tion.
If you are accidentally injected with this product, clean and disinfect the wound immediately. Go AT ONCE to the nearest accident and emergency (casualty) department of a hospital and show the information printed below to the doctor (or nurse) on duty.
If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek further medical advice.
To the doctor
Even if very tiny amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this oil-based product is particularly irritating. The accidental injection can cause intense swelling which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and the loss of a digit in exceptional cases. Expert, PROMPT, surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon.
Withdrawal period
Zero days.
