Rabbits are gentle animals. They are hard to bear diseases, and without proper treatment they die. Coccidiosis is especially dangerous. Baycox is recognized as the most effective drug against the disease. Most breeders use it.

Description

Baycox is a treatment for infections in birds and animals. Belongs to the group of anti-coccidial drugs. It destroys the protective membranes of bacteria and deprives them of nutrition, as a result of which they die. Baycox demonstrates excellent results at all intracellular stages of coccidia development.

The drug fights microorganisms that are immune to other drugs. It goes well with other medicines and vitamins.

By international standards, Baycox is classified as a moderately toxic agent. But laboratory studies prove that negative consequences do not occur even when the permissible doses are exceeded.

  2. The liquid should be clean and warm.
  3. Baycox is given to animals instead of drinking.
  4. A new mixture is prepared every day. The maximum period of use is two days. Over time, the medication loses its activity.

For adults, the medicine is given in the same way, but the dosage is changed - 1 ml per 1 liter of water. Rabbits drink most of all at night, so at this time the container with the drug should be full.

  1. The drug is not diluted, but given to rabbits in pure form from a pipette or Spitz. It is allowed to mix it with feed.
