It's been nice and warm outside, and she loves to spend her days sunning herself. I do bring her inside for an hour or so every night to get some egg and water and vitamins into her as well as give her a VetRx steam treatment. I'll be home from work soon and will see how she is.
It can be injected if they have enough breast muscle, or if you know how to give injections under the skin, but it can also be given orally.
I totally understand. I've been going into the coop every night after they've roosted and have been giving shots to 30 birds lol. Good thing needles are cheap! What would you recommend for dosage for her and for how long? I'm guessing any others that seem to have this crud "dwell" could use it too.
Your equine vet might not have Baytril unless they also treat cattle and swine because it's not in horses, but they might have Amikacin.
If this really sick hen is a pet I would treat her with the Baytril, but the others I would think about using something like Denagard. Denagard is approved for use in laying hens in the UK, but it's not approved here. Keep n mind that there is a huge difference between "not approved" and "banned". Any drug that is not banned *can* be used.
You can buy Baytril without a script, but you have to order it. You can also buy Denagard without a script from Valley Vet I think.
