Infected chicken wound! (Help)

[Evb]

One of my chickens has an infected wound and I think it is getting pretty serious even with me applying triple antibiotic and the vetericyn spray. Does anybody know what antibiotics I can get/feed to my chicken to help it?

Can you post any pictures? Is there any pus or a bad odor coming from the wound. Most pharmacies and Walmart carry Hibiclens chlorhexidene for under $10. You can clean wound with some Hibiclens weakened with water half and half. Most antibiotics are not available over the counter, but you can get AquaMox amoxicillin online and in some feed or pet stores for fish. Dosage is 125-250 mg twice a day given orally for 7-10 days. How much does she weigh? If the wound can be cleaned up twice a day, you may not need antibiotics which will force you to discard eggs for 3 weeks.

What eggcessive said. I dont think I can add to that. I couldn't have even given that much.

I'll add that you can get Baytril w/out a prescription at several places. Just Google "baytril no prescription."
