Virbac has launched Sulfatrim, the first veterinary-licensed Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole (TMPS) oral antibiotic for use in rabbits, pigeons and bearded dragons.
Kate Woolley MRCVS, Product Manager, said: "Until now, no similar veterinary-licensed product has been available for these species and, in an environment where vets are increasingly aware of the responsible use of antibiotics across all species, we are very happy to launch Sulfatrim, the first licensed TMPS for rabbits, pigeons and bearded dragons."
Sulfatrim is presented in a 30ml bottle with a dispensing cap and syringe.

its known to be safe in the species listed. where as the septrin is a non licensed item (human medical item) here is where the problems occur, such as there wont be an allowance for a cascade use of the latter product in specific animals and the vmd may clamp down more, especially considering the responsible use situation.
still not licensed for all the species where it might be used, so may still need an off license form so no real difference to what we already have with septrin, except this one will probably cost more
