denegard, baytril or tylan?

There's a nasal swab test that's pretty good, and easier to do. I did some of my birds a few years ago, all negative.

I thought about that, but those are more expensive than blood.

I did mine at Mich. State U., my local lab. At that time, six birds could be done on each swab, and four Mycoplasma sp. were identified; the two bad ones, and two benign types. I'd have to call for current information, as it's not clear on their website right now. Mary

I have read many places if there is a nil withdrawal for eggs when birds are on denagard. Does that mean that one can eat eggs while the birds are being treated with denagard, or that one may eat eggs as soon as one removes the denagard. Incidentally, I like many others have problems getting my birds to drink water containing denagard. What I have now done is heavily dose water, and use that water to mix with their feed and present them with wet mash. They gobble it up. I dose them in this way twice a day morning and evening.

In the US there is no official egg withdrawal time because it's not approved for use in poultry here, but it's zero egg withdrawal in other countries, so it's up to you if you eat them or not.

@castportpony @dawg53i have one of my girls hospitalized currently. Going to spring her tomorrow, I've been in NY this week. The morning I left she presented what appeared to be a hurt leg. Once at the vet she went downhill.... turns out it's likely MS/MG. I know my flock has it, and it appears she's re-out breaking. The vet initially treated for bacterial. After arguing with them about denaguard they decided to treat with an oxy ... she seems to be improving.
Here's my question... my plan is to

Oops too soon... my plan is to bring her home, and I'd like to treat with denaguard once Im done with her current meds.
Any thoughts or advice. I'd really like to save her.

Is she eating and drinking on her own?

She's at the vet still. They say she has started to eat on her own a little.
