Egg bound? Or am I missing something?

Also, I bought the fish zole already for my girl with canker. Is that used for both? Or is it fish mox I need?

Fish zole is metronidazole for canker. Fish mox is amoxicillin. You can use Cipro—that is similar to Baytril, which probaby better to use, since it treats some of the gram negative bacteria, such as E.coli. Let me see if I can get a dosage. Keflex may be okay, I just need to check.

Cipro dosage is 5 mg per pound twice a day. Do you have a weight? Here is a good and handy link for dosages:

Here is another link that says Cipro dosage is 15-40 mg per Kg (every 2.2 pounds) twice a day, so you could give 7mg to 18 mg per pound twice a day:
