Side effects & warnings
For swine and poultry only. Fatal if given to horses or ruminants. Observe meat withdrawal periods.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for swine may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Lincomycin-Spectinomycin pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in swine — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
