Marbolfloxacin and meloxicam

[jendarwin]

I took my ducks for a vet check up today. My female duck is been laying soft shell eggs and is slightly limping. They have advices me to give them marbolfloxacin and meloxicam for a week.
She is already on calcium citrate 500 mg everyday for 4 days now. I’m not sure if I can go about giving her these tablets and is it alright to go with calcium supplements.. advice please

You should talk to your vet, but I read that the Marbofloxacin should not be given at the same time as calcium. Are you comfortable giving injections? If so you could give calcium injections instead of calcium pills.

I don’t think I can do that. We having two days of holidays. I could only ask her on Sunday. I can wait till then ? There’s nothing serious with her.

Except for soft shell eggs

Except for soft shell eggs

The soft eggs could be from an infection. How often are you giving the Marbo? How often are you giving the calcium?

I started giving her calcium pills from this week. I had stopped it earlier. I have not started marbo yet. I’m not sure if I could

Are you supposed to give the Marbo once or twice a day?

 

[casportpony]

@jendarwin , the Marbo and the meloxicam are more important than the calcium, so get started on those right away.

Did the vet say to give the Marbo and meloxicam twice a day?

Are you giving the calcium once or twice a day?

 

[jendarwin]

So I give calcium in the morning once a day. Doctor has asked me to give Marbo and meloxicam once a day.
