===Idiopathic ARD===
*Antimicrobial for an initial period of 4 weeks
**A longer course may be required if the clinical signs relapse. This holds true for most cases of ARD.
**Suitable drugs include oxytetracycline, tylosin, metronidazole. Oxytetracycline if the drug of first choice for idiopathic ARD but its use for secondary ARD is controversial. In addition, resistance is fast to develop with oxytetracycline. Tylosin and metronidazole may be more appropriate at targetting bacteria that are likely to be present in secondary ARD.
