First I would try a veterinary and ask about metro there...Its a common med for vets to use to treat flagellates ..

You can look to see if you can get Jungle product...parasite clear...that has metro in it...

lastly Pm..Rod Lewis here.. member name "Rod" He can probably help you locate some metro.

Hth,

Hi,
Tetracycline is an antibiotic used against certain bacteria, but not for flaggelates. Metro is for flaggelates and some bacteria.
