The most important antibiotic to have on hand is the OTC ointment stuff. You can get 1 oz tubes for $1 at the dollar stores.

Clindamycin - 150mg capsules.

Truly slamming stuff if you can take powerful variants of PVK.

I'd buy at least one bottle of tea tree oil. It also works on fungus.

I'd get two bottles of each kind of fish antibiotics at Http://www.lambriarvet.com (I DO have them). I feel very secure now. They are pharmacy grade. One hundred pills in each bottle.

I am ready for anything.

I also purchased antibiotics at Lambrier listed above.

Pennicillin Tetracycline Amoxicillin

I also purchased pharmacological dosage books that list indicators and side effects along with any other pertinent information. These are a 'just in case' item, but I do feel better knowing I have them. Bought topical antibiotics and lots of vitamins also. I bought the preventative stuff first and the 'after you already got it bad' stuff second.

Just my .02

Buy a colloidal silver generator. Silver beats any drugstore stuff as an antibiotic.

Where's Doc Schenker? Calling all docs...

I can't tell you what, but I can tell you some prices from Mexico this summer:

Azitrocin 4 tablets $33.00

Gentamycin (eyedrops) $2.20

Neosporin (eyedrops) $5.70

Amoxicillin 250 mg. (I think 100 tablets) $14.08

Erythromycin 250 mg. (think 100 again) $22.40

Cephalexin 250 mg. (100 again) $19.04

Cephalexin 500 mg. (same) $31.68

The pink stuff of Amoxicillin for kids was about five dollars. You reconstitute it when needed.

Hope this was helpful to someone.

I sent for the catalogs from 3 veterinary product houses found via forum contributors. Am just about to order (today!) from the cheapest one (but with the nicest catalog), Doctors Foster & Smith. Visit these sites: www.drsfostersmith.com www.jefferspet.com www.lambriarvet.com

You can receive their catalogs and compare their products and prices. I plan to order various pet supplies from each, actually.

I have a win/win deal with my vet: I tell him what I want if it's the kind of thing he could use normally he orders it for me with the understanding that I will store it in my house and if nothing happens next year requiring me to use it he will buy it back from me next year as he needs it at this years prices.

Go to www/silversolutions.com and learn about using colloidal silver as an antibiotic. You can buy a unit to make your own CS for only $79. It will last a life time and save you thousands of dollars in doctor visits and antibiotics that do not work!

CS will kill over 650 different bacteria, parasites, germs, etc.

how can you safely use medicines like the emycin when it doesn't tell you which kind of emycin it is? or did you find out when you received your supply from literature?
