So without going into a LONG LONG LONG story i'll break it down in a "not so long" paragraph or two. So as everyone knows there is no cure for mycoplasma BUT i have found a great ... no, no... AMAZEING treatment option. The name of the product is Tetracycline. I was suggested this product for one of my sweet mousies when he had a bad eye infection. Though my sweet love lost his sight in one eye this product saved his life. Later when i decided on getting ratties i was doing some research when i discovered that because this product is a antibiotic it can be used to help with mycoplasma symptoms. I was so happy when i read this! Sence then i have givein my ratties a doesage of the medication every night before bed. Though they dont enjoy it ( escp. my banksy - ,-) it is working!!!! Sneezing has nearly dissappered after only 1 week of treatment!
I can post pictures of the box if anyone is intrested!!
Now as for where you can buy this. I bought mine from PetSmart. It was in the fish section of the store and comes in a box with the word Tetracycline in big letters. It was a bit pricey but MUCH cheaper than alot of the other treatment options out there.
How i give the medication to my sweet loves. I simply measure out about 2 TSP of maple syurp ( pancake syrup) and about 3 TSP of water to make it less thick. I then mix in about a qauter of a small packet of the medication ( its in powder form) stir it all together well and then give it to my sweet babies in a medicen dropper 8). Yuri LOVES the medication and usually wants more than i feel comfy giveing him ( because it is an antibitoic they can not overdoes on it) as for banksy its a bit of a fight and MANY loveing kisses and treats afterwards.
I love this treatment. I have heard nearly NO sneezeing sence i started giveing them the treatment.
Pleas feel free to comment and also if you have a treatment that works well for you. I'm always intrested.
