I have 2 rats that weigh about a pound and are suffering from a URI infection. I've been prescribed Baytril and Doxycycline. The Baytril is easy since it's already liquid and I am giving .1 ML to each rat twice a day.
However, with the Doxycycline, I have been informed that I need to make a solution. She gave me a 200MG pill. Here are her instructions:
1) Grind up 200MG Doxycycline tablet and place into 40ML solution (I'm assuming water since I mix it with baby food to cover the taste, also assuming it needs to be refrigerated to last 14 days)
2) The dose for Doxycycline per rat would then be .5ML twice a day. She told me it'll be a ton of solution and I'll have a lot leftover, enough to medicate about 800 rats rofl, but it should be at the proper concentration.
Does that make sense?
Thanks.
