As most of you know we have a reference section on the forum which contains links and articles we feel members will find helpful. Compiling these articles, especially when written from scratch can be time consuming and so there are still many which have not yet been completed. One which I would like to make a start on is a list of commonly prescribed medicines for rabbits and I was hoping you could help by filling in the details below for medication you have been prescribed to treat your own rabbits with. Don't worry if you do not know all the details, I can fill in the blanks!

Brand Name:
Medical Name (or active ingrediant):
Drug Category:
On or Off Licence:
Doseage, if weight relevant:
Dose Frequency:

Prescription Status (prescription only or over the counter):

So, for example:

Brand Name: Baytril
Medical name: Enrofloxacin
Drug category: Antibiotic (broad spectrum)
On or Off Licence: On
Doseage: Dependant on condition
Dose Frequency: Usually twice a day
Administration: Usually oral but can be by injection
Illness used in relation to: Pasteurellosis

Side Effects: Can cause an upset stomach, soft, misshapen or runny stools. Rabbits may be put off eating ceacals temporarily.
Contraindications: N.A but antibiotics should be used alongside probiotic supplements (duration of course plus 10-14 days thereafter)

Yeah, I just want Hoppers to list things they have used following the template I have given above so I can compile a directory of sorts from the information. It dosn't matter if they can't provide all the information (side-effects or contraindications for example) as I will research and check all of those.
