Denagard and Copper Sulfate

[BRC1978]

Can Denagard be added to copper sulfate mixture? I have a hen with respiratory issue that I have been using Denagard, she has also developed canker, I’m 2 days into the 7 day Denagard regimine, she needs the copper sulfate as well, and both say meds that they should be the only source of drinking water. * pic for attention only*

I don't see why not but I do NOT know.
@casportpony might know.

Welcome to BYC,

I would not mix the two. Not because I think they will interact with each other, but because the combination of the two might make the birds drink less, which would mean she wouldn't get enough Denagard.

Treatment for canker is metronidazole (Flagyl, Fish-Zole, AquaZole, Meditrich, etc.). Copper sulfate might help prevent an outbreak, but I don't think it will treat it.
