Azithromycin

[Noralynn]

One of my hands is got that egg so you Titus again can I give her this antibiotic called azithromycin? Because I don't have the money right now to take her to the vet and then buy her antibiotics and that's the only way we can get antibiotics here in Oregon is if we take our pet to the vet first so it's the end of the month I'm kind of short on money right now payday is not till the 5th but I got some of this here antibiotic just from from a month ago and it's still good and I was wondering if I could give it to my chicken?

Azithromycin isn't the ideal antibiotic for egg yolk peritonitis (EYP), but if it's the only one you have, you might want to try it. Penicillin or a stronger medication usually works better, but you're in a difficult situation and anything is better than nothing.

Chickens are typically given 10–20 mg per kilogram of body weight once day for three to five days. To obtain the appropriate dosage for her weight, you would need to smash one of your 250 mg pills and combine it with water. Tell me the strength if it's liquid, and I'll assist you in determining it.

Giving her something like meloxicam or baby aspirin (81 mg per 2.2 lbs, once or twice a day) may also assist, as EYP can be uncomfortable and cause inflammation. Just as crucial as the antibiotics is keeping her in a warm, quiet place and ensuring sure she drinks enough of water.
