Six essential medicines for raising rabbits

1. Penicillin

The injection comes in 200,000, 400,000 and 800,000 international units. It is effective against Staphylococcus, Pasteurella and others, and its efficacy is enhanced when used together with streptomycin. If taken orally, most of it is destroyed by stomach acid, so it is not suitable for oral administration. Dosage: 50,000-100,000 international units per kg of body weight for adult rabbits, intramuscular injection, 2 times a day, for 3-5 consecutive days.

2. Streptomycin

Each vial of injection contains 1,000,000 international units, used to treat infectious rhinitis, intestinal infections and others in domestic rabbits.
