What is the procedure for administering a tetracycline solution to my hermit crab?
To make the Tetracycline solution the following items are needed: Two 250 mg capsules of Tetracycline. (Tetracycline can usually be purchased at a store that sells fish or your local Pet Smart. Other chain stores usually do not carry Tetracycline.) 1 gallon of room temperature bottled spring water. Dissolve 250 mg (1 capsule) of Tetracycline in a 1/2 gallon of spring water. * Day 1: Make first batch of solution (This solution will be used for Days 1, 2, and 3.) Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds. (If limbs are missing, DO NOT BATHE. Instead mist or use eye dropper 3x/day.) * Day 2: Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds using solution made on Day 1. * Day 3: Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds using solution made on Day 1. * Day 4: Make second batch of solution (This solution will be used for Days 4, 5, and 6.) Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds. * Day 5: Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds using solution made on Day 4. * Day 6: Bathe crab 1x for 30 seconds using solution made on Day 4.
