I hope so too. That is up to you whether or not to use the antibiotic. Sometimes antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, are used together with metronidazole to treat ulcers in humans, and I have read where Casportpony has used some together, but cannot remember what for. I am not a vet, but worked in the medical field, and just interested in chickens. Therefore, I can only give you my opinion. The great thing about this forum is that others with more experience, and the few vets that actually belong to BYC and read posts, can jump in and give opinions as well. Casportpony has a lot more experience using medications, where to get them, and she has talked to a lot of her own vets, so if she has a recommendation, it is usually pretty good advice.
