Looking for broad spectrum antibiotics/advice

[shailey]

Hi all, recently, my 6 year old barred rock Bandi has fallen ill. She's lethargic, though not excessively. She's just been sleeping more and her face is very pale at times. I went through the basics, made sure she was parasite free (both internal and external) I've kept an eye out for reproductive issues of course but no huge indication of what's really going on at the moment. I'm worried she may have an infection. She has a wound on her breast bone, she got it from what I suspect is jumping off the roosts. They aren't too high, but Bandi has leg issues and a permanent limp, so getting down seems to be taking a toll on her. I'd like to start her on a broad spectrum antibiotic just to be sure, what would be a good one to use? Thanks!

Amoxicillin is an all around useful antibiotic that handles most bacteria. You should be able to find it in pet stores, some feed stores, and online. The dose is 250mg per day for ten days.
