YES THAT IS ORNACYN PLUS!!!! He needs REAL meds, that is not going to clear up an ear infection. Your gerbil will die if he isn't treated. He needs to see a vet immediately!


You are supposed to mix it with 8 ounces of water, a full water bottles full as it tastes really bitter. The problem with these meds are that the animals do not get a sufficent amount of the antibiotic. Even in 2 ml it's very bitter and they won't drink it. He needs to have water if he has not drank if he will become dehydrated.


Aother thing is that if you give these meds they are light sensitive so you need to cover the water bottle with foil so that the antibiotic stays full strength. Same goes for tetacycline.


Do a search for this "RMCA Drug Chart" and after you find the site, look for either Ornacycline or Tetracycline and it will tell you why it's not good to use these meds. He needs Baytril or at least Clavamox...at the least. Don't ever trust that a petstore will take care of them. They don't take animals to the vet because they lose money. A true vet, knowing your gerbil had an ear infection would NOT give these meds, he would have prescribed something stronger.
