Looking for interceptor/sentinel/milbemax

[Myka]

I had good luck - I got Interceptor (about 5 years ago) from the first vet stop I made. I had not visited this clinic before. I printed off some medical articles, photos, and aquarium articles written by a PhD. I then managed to take a macro photo of one the corals in question. The vet looked over the information I provided and filled the prescription for me.

I am not meaning to be a downer in this thread I swear! This seems like a pretty reasonable thing of the vet to do, but again, using an anti-parasitic drug extra-label in Canada is also illegal and the vet therefore assumes a lot of liability. Using a drug "extra label" means that, for example, "use for copepod infections of corals" is not on the product label.

I like the Milbemax idea as that is available on the shelf. Just be careful when calculating the dose as an overdose could cause toxicity to other animals in the tank.
