Look on about page 77 Texan, it gives several:  doxycycline, tilmicosin, erythromycin, etc.... 

I've found animals do better if I give a B complex shot when I give an antibiotic.   If they are eating grain, then I add a pkg of electrolytes as well.  You gotta get the immune system up.


I believe this dr. was treating humans: http://www.shasta.com/cybermom/myco%20tx%20sugg.htm but they had to be treated for six weeks....


and I don't know if you want to spend the time reading all of these but it was a bovine clinic on microplasma:  http://www.bovinemycoplasma.ca/


From what I can read  magnesium, selenium, zinc needs to be increased so you may want to check your minerals and see if those are adequate.


Now, I did a google search on  "Borax and Microplasma"  and there's quite a bit out there on it........... just depends on if you want to try Muleteam Borax as a cure.   I can tell you it will clear up snotty noses in 24 hours.  I put 3/4 cup in 10 gallon but there were about 7 calves being weaned and it was an automatic waterer.  


Virus and bacteria cannot live in an alkaline environment.  Just as baking soda can be used for bloat, you might try some to level out (or alkanize) the ph of their gut, but don't overdo it.  Check with your vet and you may need to follow up a few days later with probios to get the good bacteria started in the gut.
