Is terramycin powder still available, I can't seem to find it on the Dunlops catalogue (or maybe I'm being blind)?

5% has been discontinued. 20% is still available.

Ronaxan works nicely and tablet sections can be hidden in pate/cheese/yoghurt or other unhealthy bribes

If you wanted to go down the tetracycline route, terramycin (Pfizer) powder forming a fairly tasteless yellow solution available in 500g tubs (LA formulation for birds, calves, sheep) at around £20 cost price - for baby rats (depending on how many you are treating obv) it would probably last years.

For banana loving animals, also various other paedriatric solutions available - erythromycin, amoxicillin etc etc...

Ronaxan divided into small amounts and hidden in a bit of banana (or treat of your choice). Or how about Tylan?

Septrin very effective in our hands - paediatric TMPS syrup. Total dose required = 15mg/kg (combined); Septrin is 48mg/ml, so works out about 0.3ml/kg.

Other advantage is that it's banana flavoured so rats love it.

Also fantastically cheap.

I would possibly consider something like ornicure powder the doxycycline powder for birds?

In the olden days we used vibramycin for children, it came with a dropper and was ideal for kittens and small furries. There is probably a doxycycline in syrup form for kids? Would that be allowed under the cascade?
