Maracyn...........

[ncjharris]

.............Is a broad spectrum antibiotic, and for a lot of things cures all ails (so to speak).

BUT, I have never seen it here in the UK. Is it available? I seem to recall reading somewhere it could be prescribed by a vet.

If not, is it available under another name? Or is there a suitable alternative?

Nope not available in the UK.
Not sure of suitable alternatives without prescription from vets.
