I'm not overly sure about mixing medications but I haven't heard anything bad about feeding garlic while giving man made antibiotics or meds, either. I might be concerned about them cancelling each other out. If you're using a thiamine blocking med like Corid, I don't know if that could interact negatively with their processing of the garlic somehow. It shouldn't, but much is not understood.
When freshly minced or crushed, in addition to its existing antibiotics, it forms a dynamic antibiotic from the enzyme reaction of being damaged. It's called Allicin and it's one of 34 plus antibiotic and antimicrobial (etc, basically anti-disease pathogens) properties in garlic which has been used in humans successfully for various viruses, food poisoning bacteria, etc which have not responded to the strongest man made antibiotics. Garlic is also a prebiotic.
Quote: I hold them with them standing or sitting on my lap, tail facing behind me, under my arm. I use that arm to hold them down, and with that hand resting on their backs I hold their head from behind with my thumb and index finger touching the sides of their beak. I force their mouth open as gently as possible, and since I have the dropper already loaded and waiting before I open their mouth, it's then simple to administer the medicine.
Best wishes with your flock.
