@ArtCaptain hasn't been online since 2019 so they may not answer you.thanks for the update!! Did you have to do a lifetime egg withdrawal?
I do not believe you need to worry about a lifetime egg withdrawal for metronidazole.

There is an article somewhere in a thread that I started that explains why it's banned for use in food animals, and it's not because of drug resistance. Let me see if I can find that article.Because this drug class is so important in human medicine, it's illegal to use it in food animals. Non-food animals like dogs and cats, no problem. Any food species, not used.
It's about developing resistance to these drugs in food animals, which includes poultry.

Thank you so much for this post & the update. ❤ i hope my baby pulls through this.Recently my chickens have gotten canker and I was wondering if I could use Metronidazole 500mg that my mother's doctor prescribed to her last year (it expires this year in october).
However, is there a difference between giving a chicken Metronidazole for humans and Metronidazole for fish(fishzole)? I know that I'll have to cut it up into smaller pieces since the pills are quite large.
As of right now I'm putt less than a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in their water.

As you can see it's really small because it's barely starting out. I also have another hen that might have it as well. (Sorry its fuzzy its hard to get them to stay still and zoom in at the same time)
Welcome to BYC. Do you have a sick chicken?Thank you so much for this post & the update. ❤ i hope my baby pulls through this.
Do you happen to remember what dosage you used? Someone on here commented 91mgs for a 4 lb bird. But the link provided says 10-30 mgs twice daily.For anyone wondering, still watching to see if this worked...yes yes it did
