To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
I was just talking with someone out of state about her sick ferret. Her vet had given an antibiotic injection that would slowly slowly release over a 14 day period. The drug is convenia. This one is new to me. Has anyone here had any experience with this in ferrets? We`re always learning.Thanks.
Love, Zoo

An antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Amoxi-drops or Clavamox drops),
cefadroxil (Cefa drops), cefovecin (Convenia), trimethoprim-sulfa
(Tribrissen), enrofloxacin (Baytril), or marbofloxacin (Zeniquin) can
be used to eliminate a bacterial infection in the bladder.
