Veraflox ( Pradofloxacin ) Anyone used it (on rabbit)??

P

Well Convenia failed miserably . . . (no effect at all on parsley's abscess and also upset his tum a little bit - very unusually for Parsley who has sailed through all the other abx he has tried)

so vet has now suggested this veraflox if the new culture comes back as might be sensitive to it . . . she has another bun on it at present (who was a 'try it or die' case) but has stressed to us that it really is new and as far as she knows has not been used on any other rabbits.

Anyone???
 
Twinkle is on veraflox at the moment with her myxi... she was on it previously a month or so ago. Takes it well and has no issues with her.
 
Yes I've used this on my Dutch, she had an adverse gut reaction, she stopped eating for a day and started to produce very tiny droppings. It may or may not have been caused by the Veraflox, but my advice would be to keep a close eye on your bun's eating/pooping habits. I also had to sign a disclaimer before my bun started the Veraflox as it isn't licensed for use in rabbits.

Can you PM me with which vet you are under so my vet can chat to them before we start?

Am used to keeping very close eye on Parsley's poos - he has had more types of abx than any other rabbit I know!!! Almost all were not licensed for rabbits . . . Convenia, Rifampicin, Metronidazol, Enroflocaxin, Baytril, Septrin, Depocillin . . . you name it he's tried it . .

and dont lets even start on the Ketamin habit:shock::shock:

Just wish I had thought of hiring him out to a drug company years ago (JOKE:lol::lol:)
