Hi, I was going through Geezer's prescriptions and noticed that he's been prescribed Ditrim (antibiotic- Ditrim duplo- Orion Pharma) for his UTI. However, I noticed it contains xylitol. Last time he was given Borgal which doesn't have xylitol. Is this safe? I honestly don't trust that ER vet anymore after what happened last weekend and I don't feel comfortable giving it to him...
 
@Piggies&buns

Both brands are comparable to UK septrin/sulfatrim/USA bactrim and should be safe for guinea pigs.
I am however not a medications experts and can't answer your question.
 
Thank you, I'm asking because not all versions/brands have the same composition, aside from the active ingredients. I will check with the exotic vet anyway before starting, just checking if anyone had used this particular brand before.
