Hi Heather,
It starts with a "T" tetracycline is the drug, but the
name of the medicine you by is in the bird section of
the pet store and is Ornycycline.
See:

Also, how old are the pups? Faint clicking at about
10 days I've found not to be a problem. If they click
at 3 weeks and start to look sick, big problem.
Finally, in general I would recommend against a major
change in environment when the pups are very young
(under 3 weeks) such as switching tanks. This can
stress out the parents and distract them for several
hours so that the pups are not nursed.
Good luck to the little guys,
Donna
