In the Client Information section, the sixth bullet incorrectly lists the drug name as “Sarolaner.” The drug name should be listed as “Afoxolaner.”

In the Dosages section, under Horse indications (Horses–>Analgesic–>c)–>iv), the units in bold were incorrectly listed as μg/kg/hour; units for butorphanol portion of the IV CRI should read mg/kg/hour as listed here: Butorphanol 0.02 mg/kg combined with dexmedetomidine 3.5 μg/kg and given as an initial IV bolus followed by butorphanol 0.024 mg/kg/hour with dexmedetomidine 3.5 μg/kg/hour IV CRI provided clinically sufficient sedation for 30 minutes.

In the Drug Interactions section, the description for CYCLOSPORINE should be replaced with “A study in dogs showed that cyclosporine can increase clopidogrel peak concentration, but drug exposure was the same as compared with clopidogrel alone.”

In the Monitoring section, “(eg, Feline Grimace Scale)” should be removed from the second bullet. Corrected bullet should read “Pain scale or rating system.”

In the Client Information section, the third bullet (Both veterinary-approved insulins have owner information sheets, client-friendly handouts, and websites to provide client support on administration and use of insulin) was listed incorrectly and should be removed.

In the Pharmacokinetics section, the last sentence in the first paragraph should state: “Absorbed oxfendazole is metabolized to oxfendazole sulfone (inactive).”

In the Dosages section, under Dogs for the indication of Coccidiosis (Dogs– >Parasitic diseases>Coccidiosis> a and and b), the weight in lbs should be listed as 8.8 lb: “a) Body weight less than 4 kg (8.8 lb)…” and “b) Body weight greater than 4 kg (8.8 lb)…”
