Never used Bo-SE but here is what I found on it:
DESCRIPTION BO-SE (selenium, vitamin E) is an emulsion of selenium-tocopherol for the prevention and treatment of white muscle disease (Selenium-Tocopherol Deficiency) syndrome in calves, lambs, and ewes, and as an aid in the prevention and treatment of Selenium-Tocopherol Deficiency in sows and weanling pigs. Each mL contains: 2.19 mg sodium selenite (equivalent to 1 mg selenium), 50 mg (68 USP units) vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl acetate), 250 mg polysorbate 80, 2% benzyl alcohol (preservative), water for injection q.s. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added to adjust pH.
PHARMACOLOGY It has been demonstrated that selenium and tocopherol exert physiological effects and that these effects are intertwined with sulfur metabolism. Additionally, tocopherol appears to have a significant role in the oxidation process, thus suggesting an interrelationship between selenium and tocopherol in overcoming sulfur-induced depletion and restoring normal metabolism. Although oral ingestion of adequate amounts of selenium and tocopherol would seemingly restore normal metabolism, it is apparent that the presence of sulfur and perhaps other factors interfere during the digestive process with the proper utilization of selenium and tocopherol. When selenium and tocopherol are injected, they bypass the digestive process and exert their full metabolic effects promptly on cell metabolism. Anti-inflammatory action has been demonstrated by selenium-tocopherol in the Selye Pouch Technique and experimentally induced polyarthritis study in rats.
INDICATIONS BO-SE (selenium, vitamin E) is recommended for the prevention and treatment of white muscle disease (Selenium-Tocopherol Deficiency) syndrome in calves, lambs, and ewes. Clinical signs are: Stiffness and lameness, diarrhea and unthriftiness, pulmonary distress and/or cardiac arrest. In sows and weanling pigs, as an aid in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with Selenium-Tocopherol Deficiency such as hepatic necrosis, mulberry heart disease, and white muscle disease. Where known deficiencies of selenium and/or vitamin E exist, it is advisable, from the prevention and control standpoint, to inject the sow during the last week of pregnancy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS DO NOT USE IN PREGNANT EWES. Deaths and abortions have been reported in pregnant ewes injected with this product.
WARNINGS Anaphylactoid reactions, some of which have been fatal, have been reported in animals administered BO-SE Injection. Signs include excitement, sweating, trembling, ataxia, respiratory distress and cardiac dysfunction.
Discontinue use 30 days before the treated calves are slaughtered for human consumption. Discontinue use 14 days before the treated lambs, ewes, sows and pigs are slaughtered for human consumption. Selenium-Vitamin E preparations can be toxic when improperly administered.
PRECAUTIONS Selenium-Tocopherol Deficiency (STD) syndrome produces a variety and complexity of symptoms often interfering with a proper diagnosis. Even in selenium deficient areas there are other disease conditions which produce similar clinical signs. It is imperative that all these conditions be carefully considered prior to the treatment of STD syndrome. Serum selenium levels, elevated SGOT, and creatine serum levels may serve as aids in arriving at a diagnosis of STD, when associated with other indices. Selenium is toxic if administered in excess. A fixed dose schedule is therefore important (read the package insert for each selenium-tocopherol product carefully before using).
Important Use only the selenium-tocopherol product recommended for each species. Each formulation is designed for the species indicated to produce the maximum efficacy and safety.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Reactions, including acute respiratory distress, frothing from the nose and mouth, bloating, severe depression, abortions and deaths have occurred in pregnant ewes. No known treatment exists because at this time the cause of the reaction is unknown.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Inject subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
Calves: 2.5-3.75 mL per 100 pounds of body weight depending on the severity of the condition and the geographical area. Lambs 2 weeks of age and older: 1 mL per 40 pounds of body weight (minimum, 1 mL). Ewes: 2.5 mL per 100 pounds of body weight.
Sows: 1 mL per 40 pounds of body weight. Weanling pigs: 1 mL per 40 pounds of body weight (minimum 1 mL). Not for use in newborn pigs.
STORAGE Store between 2° and 30°C (36° and 86°F). Protect from freezing.
HOW SUPPLIED 100 mL sterile, multiple dose vial, NDC 0061-0807-05.
NADA #12-635, Approved by FDA.

We give 1 cc BoSe SQ at birth. This is our 3rd year using the shot program we use and it is per a vet in Wisconsin that works with alot of deer.
Thanks Allen, for the reply, but its also nice to know if you run into a situation like Tundra Ridge says, but I just ordered epinephrine from www.animart.com just in case ..Visit the site.... then click on ...(Prescription Information) then it will give you a list of different types of meds..there are a lot of meds that you dont need a Prescription ...they have tonzs of good medication to use in deer. Once again Thanks !!!

I would also use the 3cc for treatment but for prevention I use the .75cc for fear of Anaphylactic reactions. Not telling anyone what to do just giving reasons for the way things are done around here.
I use the anti-toxin for fawns as labeled for the preventative and treatment doses for sheep/goats. Might depend on the brand you get, because mine calls for 5cc as preventative and 10 as treatment dose in kids.

I think Robbie is on to something here. I did some research and found that different brands do have different dosages. So please check the label of the brand you use.
