About a month ago, I noticed my Silkie roo, Sidney, was lethargic and when I picked him up to check him over, saw that he seemed to have a very bad eye infection and his nares were running gross green runny stuff to beat the band
. I tried to get an appt. with my chicken vet but she was going to be off for about 3 days but called me and told me to give two weeks of Tribrissen and treat the eye with Terramycin, both of which, luckily I had on hand. Sidney seemed to be improving but as soon as I stopped the antibiotics, he went downhill fast. got an appt. and it was touch and go for a couple of days but he pulled through with a round of Baytril for two weeks, continuing the Terramycin, and applying Vet Rx on the nares which had been very runny. He is now much better and upstairs in my bathroom crowing away and I swear I've never heard a sweeter sound
! anyway, I asked the vet if I could put him back in with his peeps but his nares were still a tiny bit congested so she gave me a five day supply of Tylan 50 to put in the water for the entire flock in case Sidney's problem was microplasm. Hate to show my ignorance but don't know what that is and will look it up. The vet told me there was a one day egg withdrawal with the Tylan 50. this is probably a dumb question but someone told me once that it's only dumb if you don't ask! Should I be throwing the eggs away for the entire six days (five days of Tylan and one day after?) the girls are just starting to pick up laying again after this long hard winter and it KILLS me to throw eggs away!
could I at least not throw eggs away the first day of the Tylan? Maybe they won't have so much in their system?
