My pte mouse

Question
"I have a pet mouse that was given an injection yesterday for what I believe was mites, Then I was given something called Ivermectin to give him once a week for 3 week.

He seems to be getting a cold but the vet didnt say anything about it or give me anything for that.

I had to have someone else take the mouse for me

as I don't drive,and that is not easy to arrange.



in the past someone on here who knows about mice told me to try antibiotic Tetracycline for his cold, and it worked


Would it be ok to give that to him Now

While he is being given the Ivermectin?

Thank you, for any help you can give me!  

Answer
To do the very best to care for your mouse, call Dr. Yearout and have a telephone consult with him. He is an expert in mice and uses holistic approaches that would be safe along with the ivermectin. While the tetracycine may be ok, it can cause drug interactions,so a different approach would be much better.  His # is 425-334-8171.
