The silver dragon fish ate two slices of oxytetracycline. What would happen?

Last night a friend said that he raised a silver arowana, swallowed about two or three tablets of oxytetracycline, the exact amount he did not see clearly, his silver arowana will die?

Careful inquiry revealed that the parrot, which was raised with silver arowana, had some signs of enteritis. He did not have an isolation tank so he took the medicine in the whole tank. The tragedy was that the parrot did not eat oxytetracycline, but was snatched by the silver arowana.

Oxytetracycline belongs to a broad-spectrum antibiotics, in the past regardless of whether people or animals, diarrhea are eating this, now there are many cats, dogs, birds, pigs or in the treatment of animal enteritis with oxytetracycline, in theory, there is no problem, as long as the silver arowana is not a mouthful to eat 10 tablets of eight tablets will be okay, no fish No matter how big the dose is.

Oxytetracycline has been frequently used for many years in the treatment of ornamental fish diseases, especially for ornamental fish water mold, enteritis, body surface inspection and Quarantine will have a very good effect.

Oxytetracycline is used with potassium permanganate in the treatment and Quarantine of hydromycosis of ornamental fish. Oxytetracycline can also be used in the treatment of enteritis of ornamental fish if we do not have metronidazole and dysentery on hand.

When treating ornamental fish diseases, most of the time, I am accustomed to pouring oxytetracycline and other tablets directly into the fish tank, let it melt slowly, in order to cause the fish to be curious and eat two mouthfuls during the melting process, so I feel that the effect of treatment is faster than soaking.

The usual practice is to open the medicine bottle and pour it directly into the fish tank according to the dosage of about three hundred kilograms of water and ten tablets. As a result, one time I overpoured it because of my own negligence, but it was not oxytetracycline, and half a bottle was poured out of a one-meter-five fish tank, about fifty or sixty tablets. As a result, a jar of brocade carp was poured out. Crazy jump, and finally can only change the water to solve.

Strictly speaking, the use of oxytetracycline tablets for other animals such as the previously mentioned use of oxytetracycline to prevent pigeon knee arthritis and so on, with oxytetracycline treatment of fish disease we had better buy oxytetracycline powder, because the tablets of human oxytetracycline tablets containing too much starch is not conducive to the cleanliness of the water, and the powder of oxytetracycline does not exist. In these problems, and the purity is much higher, the global veterinary drug platform companies are also selling.Specific dosage in the inspection and quarantine time is a hundred liters of water using powder oxytetracycline two grams or so can be, once enough without changing water and no need to supplement.

So in general, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and compound sulfamethoxazole will not be a problem for individual fish to take the last two or three tablets. Small fish can't swallow them. Besides, fish are not silly. They won't take the medicine after the first bite. Sometimes they will vomit when they feel wrong. It's just that we do not observe carefully.Of course, this friend's silver dragon fish is also living well, and can eat and drink anything.
