Fish Antibiotics Without a Prescription
Fish antibiotics on the shelf at Tractor Supply. They’re not there for fish. You can get antibiotics for less, but a vet visit will cost you $80 and they will not write you out a presciption for 100 pr 500- doses.
don't forget, Penicillin is resistant to many bugs these days. best not to use antibiotics unless really needed as it will further the problem. also, the actual dose for pets needs to be looked up--dogs vs cats vs different size dogs...all different doses. (vet here)

Fish meds are also a way to get inexpensive prazinquantel for tapeworm control.
