The antibiotic does pass into the egg. I do not believe that it will harm either you or your neighbors. I'm not sure of the withdrawal period for duramycin but I will try and look it up for you.

Here is a link to a thread all about it....the withdrawal period is 21 days from last dose. I didn't read through the entire link but I'm hoping that it will answer your other questions as well. The antibiotic is passed through to the eggs but I don't think it would be in enough quantity to do you or your neighbors harm. Just don't eat any more eggs until the withdrawal period is over.

Okay, Thanks for you help!

I just finished a two week course of Duramycin-10. My bird vet did some research to find out how long until we could consume eggs and I was told that I needed to wait 30 days. I had to wait a week to get this info, so it's supposedly "official."
