Freaking out, maggots in vent

Thank you for the update, and we all are hoping for the best for your hen.

Most antibiotics are not approved for laying hens. However many vets will prescribe, and many people will give them to their chickens to treat a dangerous infection. Enrofloxacin or Baytril is banned in the US for chickens, but it is still widely used, and legal in other countries. I would wait 30 days after treatment to eat eggs if she continues to lay them. If you or your family has ever used Cipro, that is very similar, so I don’t know why the vet was so cautious. There is a risk of those things with it’s exposure in humans, but it is not common.

Probably put that strong of a caution on the use because some people are allergic to certain antibiotics. I'm highly allergic to Cipro.

Unfortunately, this will be the last update as she passed away last night. I find comfort in knowing I tried everything to help her but I’m still very sad

I’m so sorry. It is difficult to lose a hen, especially when we’ve tried so hard to save them. Hugs to you!
