My 6 1/2 month old spotted Sussex has started laying eggs....i have been treating her with tylan and terramycin for an eye infection. ..now cleared up..havent given her antibiotics for 1 week .....when are the eggs safe to consume?
With oral Tylan, there is a 1 day egg withdrawal, and with giving it by injection, there is a 7 day withdrawal. With terramcyin or oxytetracycline, I believe there is a 21 day withdrawal for oral administration, but not sure about the eye ointment. It probably would not be harmful to eat the eggs, but I would not share or sell them. Any allergy to tetracycline drugs might require extra precautions.
