Lash Egg Treatment, Dosage help

[Mdavchicks]

Hi All,

I believe my hen has the early stages of lash egg. She laid a soft shell egg with a bit of white chunky material with the egg (on the outside of the soft shell). There was about two peas worth of material.

I would like to treat her asap but I do not have a vet that will see chickens around me.

Can I treat with antibiotics from tractor supply? Fish antibiotics? Anything else over the counter? What is the dosage?

I believe she developed lash egg from a dirty rear end, which I have already cleaned up.

Thank yall for your help!

Get aqua-mox or fish mox (amoxycillin) at the 250mg strength as that is the daily dosage for an average size chicken. Or get the 500mg and divide it into two doses. Do not dilute in water even though the label says to. That's for treating an aquarium.

I find dipping a tiny piece of bread in olive oil then sopping up the amoxy powder works well.
