I was wondering if any medications out there that won't have an affect on a females reproductive capabilities and at the same time cure a respitory infection ?

i heard that panacur can harm follicle development i think it was .. that is what i usually use so i was trying to see what else is out there ..

Thanks

First of all, correct me if I'm wrong here, I thought panacur was for parasites and worms. If the RI is minor you can bump up the heat throughout the enclosure and also bump up the humidity. This should take care of it. Hope this helps.

I agree Panacur is usually used for parasites. But I have heard that some use it for R.I. with marginal success.

I would bump up the temps, and watch her very close. If for some reason that does not help then I would use Tylosin brand name Tylan. I have had excellent results. But it is only good for a certain kind of infection. Do some research on Tylan and you will find the doses. For some reason the dosage slipped my mind. But I think it was 25 or 50 mgs per Kilogram of Tylan 200. I have never had a problem using it on gravid females.....(only have had to with one female though)

Good luck

Bump the heat, but not the humidity. Try to keep her humidity as low as possible, even putting a smaller water dish in it will help. good luck. Craig
