Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / October 2003You won't believe this!
Firstly i would like to say a huge thankyou for all your best wishes for Charlie.Forgive me for invading a rat group with cat chat but you will soon understand why.Charlie was allowed back home today -he was suffering from a flu-like virus although he had had all his vaccinations.Anyway,guess which anti-biotic he was sent home with?Ronaxan!Or should i say - doxycycline.Tracey has been treating one of her rats with it.I was told just yesterday that it wasn't available in this country - is it me or has the whole world gone mad!!!!!!!! I am going to be on the phone first thing in the morning to find out why the hell i couldn't have it for Beau.Anyway thought you would like to know this crazy story. Thanks again x > Firstly i would like to say a huge thankyou for all your best wishes for > Charlie.Forgive me for invading a rat group with cat chat but you will soon [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thought you would like to know this crazy story. > Thanks again x OMG! First, I hope Charlie is doing better and the doxy will help. Second...what the hell is wrong with that vet? Did Beau see the same vet as Charlie? I sure hope you can get the doxy for Beau now... Don't worry about invading our NG with kitties... we love all animals here... :)  SignatureJoanne Mom to 14 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 j-s.b@nospamsympatico.ca remove "no spam" Thanks Joanne,Charlie is on the road to recovery thanks to a plate of tuna followed by some chicken.He is one spoilt boy!Yes,they saw the same vet within five minutes of each other.She is actually a very good vet -maybe i didn't make myself clear and she thought that i was interested in Vibravet only.I am going to see her again on Friday,hopefully it can be sorted.

Perhaps you could ask the vet to just prescribe extra for your cat so that you could then give it to Beau. Would the vet do that do you think? You could perhaps bring in the drug chart from RMCA. http://www.rmca.org/Articles/dchart.htm I hope this helps... SignatureJoanne Mom to 14 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 j-s.b@nospamsympatico.ca remove "no spam" I think you are right Joanne.I will suggest it to her.

I took the Drug Chart into my Vet so she could see for herself what I was on about...LOL > > Thanks Joanne,Charlie is on the road to recovery thanks to a plate of tuna > > followed by some chicken.He is one spoilt boy!Yes,they saw the same vet [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I hope this helps... > Firstly i would like to say a huge thankyou for all your best wishes for > Charlie.Forgive me for invading a rat group with cat chat but you will soon [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thought you would like to know this crazy story. > Thanks again x That's unbelievable Sue! The vet who told you Doxycycline wasn't available in this country, only for the very same practice that she works at to prescribe said drug to another of your animals, must have been in ga-ga land - beggars belief doesn't it? So glad to hear Charlie is on the mend! Let us know what the vets say when you ask them why you were told Doxy wasn't available for Beau. Tracey Hi Tracey, I just wanted to check a few details with you before i go back to the vet on Friday.Charlies Ronaxan is in 20 mg tablets.Is that the same as yours.How much do you give your rat? Thanks in advance Sue x > > Firstly i would like to say a huge thankyou for all your best wishes for > > Charlie.Forgive me for invading a rat group with cat chat but you will [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Tracey > Hi Tracey, > I just wanted to check a few details with you before i go back to the vet on > Friday.Charlies Ronaxan is in 20 mg tablets.Is that the same as yours.How > much do you give your rat? > Thanks in advance > Sue x Louie was only on the medication for about ten days back in May. From what I can remember I recall the vet saying they didn't make small enough doses for pets as small as rats so he had to break 20mg tablets up into little pieces for each of the doses. I think each 20mg tablet was split into about 8 pieces then one tiny piece=one ratty dose. Each dose was given twice a day. Sorry I can't be more accurate. Tracey When I get doxy for my rats, I get it in liquid form!!!! Much easier to give an accurate dose.

What lovely news ..:) The Syringe of Doxycycline I have has specifically written on it.. "For Cats and Dogs".. so I can see no reason why it can't be given to the Ratties..:) I suppose for some Vets they don't want the responsibility if they prescribe medication off license ..:( Regards Kate > Firstly i would like to say a huge thankyou for all your best wishes for > Charlie.Forgive me for invading a rat group with cat chat but you will soon [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thought you would like to know this crazy story. > Thanks again x Does anyone know of any web sites where i may be able to buy Vibravet online?I know you can buy Baytril but i can't remember where i saw it.I know i sound desperate but i am desperate.

I'll keep looking though... http://www.auspigeonco.com.au/order/ordering.html Usually, most places on the net require a vet note before they will dispense anything any vet med.
