“…Dihydrostreptomycin can be an effective treatment for cattle with leptospirosis. [15][16][17][18] Use of a single injection of dihydrostreptomycin (25 mg/kg [11.4 mg/lb] of body weight, IM) has traditionally been recommended to decrease the risk of transmission of leptospirosis and is specified for use in animals for import or export. 19 However, dihydrostreptomycin is not always effective, and persistent infection of the kidneys and genital tract of treated cattle has been reported.…”

Successful resolution of leptospirosis in cattle by administration of dihydrostreptomycin-penicillin G confirms results obtained by other investigators. Three other antibiotics (oxytetracycline, tilmicosin, and ceftiofur) also were effective for resolving leptospirosis and may be useful substitutes for dihydrostreptomycin, an antibiotic that is no longer available for use in food-producing animals in the United States. Cost, safety, and withdrawal times of these various treatment options need to be considered.
