Medication help

It doesn’t say it requires a prescription so it isn’t necesary. I’m in California where everything requires a prescription but I’ve been able to order anything labeled for fish “which are just repackaged human antibiotics” and liquid baytril for pigeons without needing a prescription.

I wouldn't get any of those, I would Baytril. Give 0.068 ml per pound orally twice a day.

I just noticed that link! Thanks for adding to the list of places Baytril can be found, I’ve had trouble finding it in the past!

I got it ordered!!! but it will be 3 to 5 days. He did eat a little and drink some but he’s still really quiet and keeps to himself.

Tablets are almost impossible to dose correctly.

Can you expedite the order?

I also seen a lot of fish antibiotics that thought might work but it was for fish so I just skipped them. Great to know there are some that can be used!

You may end up having to tube feed him if he completely stops eating, you’ll need to get a 60ml syringe with a gastric tube and you’re also going to need a smaller syringe to measure out the baytril, 3ml to 12 ml, tractor supply usually carries them from what I’ve seen.

@casportpony has the best articles of how to tube feed birds.

I’m not sure, my older sister ordered it from her work as soon as I sent it to her. That will be one package I’m going to be watching like a crazy woman

Unfortunatly that is true, it takes a lot of cutting up and measuring.
