In the chook yard with the ducks and chooks
Hi everyone
I was recently reading the first aid kit forum. I've got most basics, but I think I need a stronger antibiotic, as I only have sulfa 3 for my birds. I was wondering where everyone buys their things from. I looked around our local fodder stores, but I can't find much of what I need. Does everyone go to the vet? Is there a online site to buy medication?
Thanks everyone!
 
In the US, our FDA has made it so that most antibiotics are now only available from a vet prescription. Some injectable antibiotics such as Tylan and penicillin are still available at this time. Where do you live?
If up you are in the US, you can buy some medicines online at certain websites for animals, fish, and birds. A vet prescription sometimes is needed for certain ones.

Can someone please post these websites and also requesting a review on all these medicines we are using ,what they are, specific uses,pros coms and natural alternatives. This would make a great article for all of us.
 
One problem that many face is how to obtain a medicine for a sick pet chicken when there is not vet available to prescribe a needed antibiotic, since most available antibiotics were taken out of feed stores at the start of 2017. Here are some sources where to buy baytril (enrofloxacin) a most powerful antibiotic that is currently banned in the US for chickens, but is good to treat chickens suffering from egg peritonitis or E.coli infections, and other baterial infections where a broad spectrum superdrug is needed, but who won't be used for meat or eggs:

Another site for fish antibiotics: http://www.medi-vet.com/fish-medications-s/1514.htm
