Deslorin implant is no longer available for chickens

You might post a new thread about it asking about Georgia, including your town or region. Some folks in GA may respond.

Thank you! I read more on here than I post. Excellent idea!

The Suprelorin implant shouldn't be the only option if they changed the label on that particular brand. My vet initially used to give my Khaki a progesterone implant of a different brand before switching to the Suprelorin implant by Virbac because I used to be able to get them cheaper online. She started getting them in for me when I couldn't get them anymore. They both lasted the same amount of time. (2 months is all they've been effective for both of mine that were on them). They are effective a lot longer in chickens than ducks though.

I would be more than open to this. My girl has terrible ups and downs. Do you know what the implant was?

Is the Suprelorin different than what I asked about? (Deslorin)

Sorry, I wasn't real clear on my response. No Suprelorin is the brand name of the Deslorin implant , I was trying to point out there are other options like pregesterone implants that do the same thing.

I believe it’s the name brand

Got it. Thanks for clarifying! My regular vet is two hours away and wouldn't discuss the other options AT ALL without me being in person. I ended up at another, also two hours away....who did Deslorin. Hopefully can keep that going for now. I wish there was someone within my city but none carry any of it though. It is absolutely near impossible to get care here for anything that isn't a cat or dog.

I wrote a letter to the FDA and my congressmen, and I started a petition on change.org (no money—just signatures needed) trying to make this FDA regulation change happen! If you are of like mind, pls consider signing and/or sharing it. Thank you!
