No need to screw around with fish food. :wink:

I recommend these guys, been ordering stuff from them for years, Lots of various antibiotics and other important products, at very competitive prices. Fast shipping, 7-10 days total to US. I'm a 100% satisfied customer.

Watch the self life on this stuff. It's an issue for long term storage.

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

Especially with tetracycline family antibiotics - they become toxic as they break down in storage. Not good.

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

they work just fine , been getting them for years , same thing they give people , but cheaper

mick:

which would you recommend out of the two?

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

Thanks for posting, phideaux. Looks like a great resource to have bookmarked. I was about to suggest having a look at the local feed store for meds for chicken or other livestock, but this is the real deal. Some of these meds are no more costly to buy outright from 4 corners than the prescrips cost me here with my insurance co-pay!

If you are going to play doctor take a few minutes to learn what different antibiotics are used for.

Google empiric antibiotic coverage.

Can you say yellow teeth and failed immune system?

Get some oil of oregano instead. It won't kill your gut bacteria.

where u get your OOO conk?

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

It sounds like you've got a very brave doctor (or one you can trust). Most would pull a CYA move & insist that you take only "safe" meds labeled for sale to us human types.

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

I cant speak for fish medicine but in many cases the meds used at the Vet clinic were the same as humans. They were just dosed different, especially for cats.

About Erythromycin.. It has great potential to cause you a very miserable gut.
Always take probiotics when you take an antibiotic.

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

I have to call BS. That doctor could have his license pulled. If nothing else, the AMA and Eli Lilly or whoever makes regular anitbiotics would be after him. :biggrin:

Fish are not mammals. Antibiotics for fish are manufactured to a different standard than human antibiotics. Generic antibiotics for humans are dirt cheap. Why screw around with fish food? :biggrin:

+1

go natural - GARLIC

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

You don't think oregano is natural? http://www.iherb.com or vitacost.com Trusty sites.

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

should have added the +1

OoO rocks :ok:

Re: Stocking up on antibiotics
 

I think I might buy some dog meds from 4 Corners. You said they have always been smooth to deal with. That is good to know.

Spent about an hour reading around the internet about those fish pills for antibiotics. They seem to be 100% the real deal. Just bought some Ampicillin, Amoxocillin, Cephalexin and some Penicillin just to have on hand. All for about $70.
