Tylosin?

[jakkismagic]

Is Tylosin safe for guinea pigs?

It is a broad range antibiotic, generally used for respiratory and other soft tissue infections, that is added to the animal's drinking water*.

I have used it on many rats over the years to treat respiratory infections, uterine infections, urinary infections, and even to fight the infection caused by a Zymbal's Gland tumor. I (obviously) have a stock of it for my many rats and just wanted to know if I could use it if anything came up with my piggies.


*some animals refuse to drink due to the bitter taste so I use fresh fruit juice to mask the flavor

No, it's not safe. Its the same thing as erythromycin and is on the dangerous medication list Guinea Lynx :: Dangerous Medications
