Abstract: A formulation for treating and preventing parasite infestations in horses, dogs, cats, and other animals is provided. This formulation includes a cestocidal agent, wherein the cestocidal agent is pyrantel, morantel, any salt thereof, or any combination thereof. Preferably the formulation additionally includes an edible non-aqueous liquid and a thickening agent. The formulation of the present invention allows for a high concentration of cestocidal agent.

Abstract: A formulation that includes a mixture of at least one antibiotic, at least one analgesic, and at least one solvent is provided. The antibiotic and the analgesic are dissolved in the solvent to form a formulation that is suitable for veterinary applications. This formulation can be administered to animals as a pour-on or an injectable formulation.

Abstract: A formulation for treating and preventing roundworm infestations in horses, dogs, cats, and other animals is provided. This formulation includes an agent effective against nematodes, wherein the agent is pyrantel, morantel, any salt thereof, or any combination thereof. Preferably, the formulation additionally includes an agent effective against nematodes and obligate parasitic flies, an edible non-aqueous liquid and a thickening agent. The formulation of the present invention allows for a high concentration of the agent effective against nematodes and for the treatment of roundworms, particularly ascarids, that have become resistant to at least one agent typically effective against nematodes.

Abstract: A formulation for treating and preventing parasite infestations in horses, dogs, cats, and other animals is provided. This formulation includes a mixture of an edible non-aqueous liquid, a thickening agent, an agent effective against nematodes and obligate parasitic flies and a cestocidal agent, wherein the cestocidal agent is pyrantel, morantel, any salt thereof, or any combination thereof. Preferably, the agent effective against nematodes and obligate parasitic flies is an avermectin, a milbemycin or any combination thereof. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of making this parasiticidal formulation. A further aspect of the present invention is a method for administering the parasiticidal formulation of the present invention to an animal in the form of a paste.

Abstract: An antibiotic formulation for animals is provided. This formulation includes florfenicol, a preservative and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The florfenicol and preservative are dissolved in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent. The formulation is suitable for veterinary applications in colder temperatures. More specifically, it is usable during winter months because it has a lower cold temperature viscosity than previous formulations resulting in it having superior syringeability.

Abstract: An antibiotic formulation in a true solution is provided. This formulation includes an antibiotic and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. It also may include a preservative, an antioxidant, and/or an additive. The antibiotic is a beta lactam, such as a penicillin, a cephalosporin, other beta lactams, or combinations thereof. The formulation is made by dissolving the antibiotic in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The antibiotic formulation is suitable for use at temperatures below about 0° C. and without agitation. Further, the antibiotic formulation in true solution can be made with non-sterile ingredients and can be filtered to remove impurities.

Abstract: An anesthetic is provided that includes a mixture of propofol, a tonicity agent, a substantially phospholipid-free emulsifying agent, a preservative such as benzyl alcohol, and water. This anesthetic is made by combining these components and then filtering the mixture of these components through a sterilizing filter. This anesthetic may be parenterally administered to both induce and maintain anesthesia in animals.

Abstract: A parasiticidal formulation is provided. This formulation includes a pyrrolidone solvent, a bridging solvent, and an parasiticidal agent. One or more parasiticidal agents may be included in the formulation. Preferably, the formulation contains both closantel and ivermectin. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of making this parasiticidal formulation. This method includes mixing a pyrrolidone solvent and a bridging solvent to form a solvent solution and adding one or more parasiticidal agents to the solvent solution. A further aspect of the present invention is a method for administering the parasiticidal formulation of the present invention to an animal. This method of administration includes providing the parasiticidal formulation described above and applying this formulation to the skin of an animal, wherein the formulation is absorbed through the animal's skin.
