    Over-The-Counter Antibiotics For Ducks

    Since my go to antibiotic, Duramycin 10, is no longer sold in stores I need to know what I can now use for an antibiotic, and where to get it. No injectables, unless it can be given orally. I need an antibiotic for a duck with an advanced case of bumblefoot.

    Can you give human (or dog) antibiotics to chickens?

    We have a pullet who has been sick for a while with what we think is a respiratory infection.

She has a good appetite though, and is...

    My 6 month old rooster came down with a nasty respritory infection last weekend so I put the entire flock on 800 mg dose of Tetroxy 240 from my vet.
