Thanks Kathy. I understand its the antibiotics tho. What are some products of those I should get my hands on. Neomycin? Terramycin? Thanks. Sorry if I'm being a bother.

You aren't being a bother! I think @KsKingBee would recommend getting some SulfaMed G for treating stubborn cases of coccidiosis. I'll have a think about it and come up with more for you.

I appreciate It. Thank you. I did just by a 1/8 oz tube of Terramycin from Tractor supply

At the last minute I got a little paranoid and purchased a bunch of stuff. All stuff I haven't ever had to use, but thought it might be good to have around.

I forgot this was going into effect tomorrow. I'm very curious to see what comes of it.

Should be interesting. Hopefully more vets will step up and start seeing poultry.

Oh, forgot to mention that California has a new law that will go into effect 1-1-2018 that will require Rx for *all* antibiotics.

Need to do more research on that.

So I was on Twin City Poultry supplies and it states that "Antibiotic tablets, capsules and injectables are not on the restrictive list." So does that mean the FDA mandate didn't pass?

This is true, only "water soluble", "medicated feeds", and "feed additives containing antibiotics" are on the list, with the exception of a few, one of those being bacitracin (BMD), that's a drug commonly used in turkey and chick starters.
