Description
Therapeutic efficacy of diclofenac sodium (Zobid, Sarabhai) 1 mg/kg i.m. was evaluated against clinical and experimental cases of myositis and arthritis in cattle and buffaloes. An overall recovery rate of 85% (12 out of 14) and 60% (3 out of 5) was recorded in myositic and arthritic cases, respectively. All the eight calves with lactic acid- and turpentine induced myositis and non-infectious arthritis responded well to treatment with 2-3 and 4-7 injections of diclofenac sodium (1 mg/kg), respectively, whereas the control group showed muscular atrophy and permanent lameness
