I would go with the larger amount and save money. I usually get the larger amount anyway because it is usually cheaper overall. Either way you will likely not go through it all before it expires.

This has to do with the FDA. The FDA wants to stop the use of baytril (enrofloxicin) because it is similar to an antibiotic used by humans. So they are trying to prevent antibiotic resistance. The FDA doesn't allow the sale of eggs from birds that have been administered baytril. This is to deter farms from using it. Like @Miss Lydia mentioned, in 2 weeks baytril will no longer be found in eggs.

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

I reccomend the Baytril as well.
It is given at a dose of 0.05ml per pound of body weight, orally, twice a day for five straight days. If the duck is laying you will want to avoid eating the eggs for a few weeks to eliminate the chance of antibiotic contamination into your system.

Soaking the foot continuously, and applying ointments will eventually help loosen the necrotic tissue you are having such as a hard time getting off. Once off this will hopefully allow new healthy skin growth over the wound site.

Thank you

Thanks. Soaking it in what? And any particular ointment? Anything to do about it with the swelling?

Officially, you should not eat the eggs or meat if a bird is treated with enrofloxin for 6 months. This is to eliminate the possibility of humans developing resistance to enroflixin by ingesting minute quantities. Enroflixin is one of an important group of antibiotics for treating severe infections caused by gram negative bacteria. Very many human resistances to antibiotics devevelop as spill over from veterinary use of antibiotics. Mine are drakes and so I dont have an egg problem. And I dont eat my boys: they are backyard pets.!
