Already happened in California. No more OTC antibiotics here!Some people are now using injectable OTC antibiotics. If that continues they could end up banned too.
That's very unfortunate. Everyone treats every problem in chickens with an antibiotic. Good husbandry, and culling birds is a more effective way to deal with illnesses, but everyone wants to save their sick chickens.Already happened in California. No more OTC antibiotics here!
Some things aren't treatable, that's for sure, like cancer, Marek's, ascites, severe EYP, etc, but with the right drug many birds can be saved. I have blackhead here, so every year I get a couple of peas or turkeys that I have to treat, and the success rate is over 95% if caught soon enough.That's very unfortunate.

I personally have never saved a single sick chicken long term. When something goes wrong with a chicken it can be near impossible to stop, but our human desire is to always try to fix them.
