I have come here in a desperate attempt to find solutions to treating mycoplasma infections in rats. I am hoping someone here may have some suggestions or advice!
I am a caretaker of four male rats ranging between the ages of 2 years to 9 months who have been suffering with myco flare-ups off and on throughout their lives. I have treated them with weeks of baytril/doxy combo, as well as zithromax alone and along with the baytril/doxy combo at the first signs of sneezing and wheezing. My two older boys have significant lung damage despite treatment
. My two younger boys I believe are doing well, but I have been trying to find solutions to help prevent flare-ups or stop/reverse any damage that may be occurring even without symptoms. I have currently taken a difference approach and have been trying different supplements such as Co-enzyme Q-10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, salmon oil and have considered starting my most cronic boys on N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (does anyone know a safe dosage for N-Acetyl L-Cysteine for rats? They are 670 grams and 560 grams). I am hoping someone could give some advice or suggestions on how to better treat this awful mycoplasma, as I have become so desperate.
Thank you VERY much for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any replies that follow! Your feedback is very much appreciated and I could not thank you enough!!!
