Need antibiotic ASAP.

[Sacri]

my chickens and ducks were attacked by a fox. Many died. One duck survived but needed staples. Dr says she needs tetracycline. I can’t find a place that carries that. This is compounded by the fact places are closing due to the hurricane. What else can I use? PLEASE HELP!!

Why won't the vet sell you some? If you can't find tetracycline or oxytetracycline, ask your vet if you can use injectable penicillin instead. Also, when you call the feed store, ask if they have any antibiotics for cattle, some might have the injectable oxytetracyline or maybe a sulfa drug:
