Help with medicine

[Diggidy]

My 6 month old pullet wasnt doing so hot. Sleepy, didnt want treats, constantly drinking and squirting it out the other end. Turn out her crop was jammed and huge.
I took her to the vet and they gave me 3 liquid medicines. Baytril, metoclopramide and nystatin. I was only able to get her to eat a very small amount and a little in her eye. How do i get her to eat it? One thought was to soak it into bread, but she isnt too crazy about bread to start with.

You can drip into mouth with a eye dropper or use a syringe without a needle - do not squirt down throat. You can buy dried meal worms at TSC and inject meds into them. A treat they are sure to like.

The dried worms wouldnt be tough on her? She doesnt have an appetite right now, but i think its due to stress. She is drinking, alert and not squirting, which is good.

You could get some plain regular yogurt to mix with a little feed and put meds in it. Make it like a paste, not soupy Yogurt is good for digestion and will hide the med taste.

Not a bad idea.

The vet said to not eat the eggs. I was wondering if second hand antibiotics would hurt me or if there is another reason.

Guessing vet is saying don't eat eggs because of treating the hen with antibiotics and meds.

There's a 5 day withdrawal period after the last dosing of baytril.

Hi Dawg!
hope you don't mind another novice question. Is the withdrawl the same for Oxytet? Thanks in advance.

For oxytet soluable, there is no withdrawal. For oxytet 500fg there's a 5 day slaughter withdrawal period after the last dosing.
