Maybe I've spelt it wrong, hang on. Definitely not Maxolon, but maybe I've mixed the spellings
Oh definitely wrong, Ronaxan*changes title*
ETA: doxycycline, Ronaxan must be the trade name.
*gives up*
:lol: sorry Schuey!

It's a treatment for RTI's, such as pasteurella, bordatella and the *occus family of bacteria :shock: Aimed at Cats & Dogs currently, but i'd guess as per the majority, it may be able to be used in rabbits?
Mischa?

I've used it for respiratory infection :wave:

Yes, Santa had doxycycline in the past, it worked well for her. I seem to recall it has a good affinity with lung tissue and in humans it works synergistically with bisolvon, so if you're being offered it for a respiratory bun it might be worth asking about bisolvon too. The tablets are very small, I used to give it either in a little piece of banana or dissolve it in a drop of echinacea in water and she would slurp it up without a problem.

Yup Mischa, and Nutmeg, both are struggling at the moment. It was only cos I've never seen it mentioned on here that I was curious. Apparently it is anti-inflammatory as well. It's in tablet form though, and they need quarter twice a day. Have no idea how I'm going to do this!
Oooh! Any tips on how to split the tablets?!

Mark recommended crushing up and mixing with something and syringing. I said about in banana as I know even Nutmeg will eat it like that. It's just the splitting of the tablets I haven't figured out
Glad to hear it's worked well. Am hoping this is going to sort it for both of them.

I think I just chopped it up with a knife...wasn't easy though.

You can buy tablets splitters, like this one which is a good one, I have used these in the past;

Although I just use my nails to split any little tabs in 4, I have strong nails though!
Ronaxan has been around for donkeys years and we always use it for treating cats with flu. I know of rabbits that have been prescribed it too. :wave:
