Please help

[ChickenTenderNewbie]

I have a local feed store I can call tomorrow. Everything I'm seeing online says last year a law was passed that all antibiotics have to have a prescription. I will ask them if they have any recommendations for a vet that will see my rooster. I started giving him electrolytes since Tuesday. I started feeding him the poultry cell directly in his mouth as well.

Also I tried researching online vets that will treat chickens and haven't found any reputable ones that don't appear to be a scam.

You can get enrofloxacin (generic baytril) 10 mg tablets and 10% liquid online here:
https://jedds.com/products/enrofloxacin-10?variant=40215712661693
Dosage is 10 mg for each 2.2 pounds given orally of weight twice a day for 5 days.

Can you also get some human super B complex tablets ate Walmart and give 1/2 tablet daily crushed into some moist feed or cooked egg? That could help the curled under toes and legs. This is a good buy:

I will buy both ASAP. I hate to see him suffering. Would you recommend the enrofloxacin in liquid form or pill? I really appreciate your help and everyone else who took the time to reply.

Do you have any feed stores near you that has antibiotics on the shelf?

It's now illegal to buy antibiotics without a script. Only fish and bird antibiotics ate still available and the fish site I used went down a few weeks ago.

I would get the tablets, since it is a better deal, and dosage is 1 tablet per each kg or 2.2 lbs. You can crush tablets and add to scrambled egg, cream cheese, or other food that you can get her to eat.

Okay. I bought the antibiotics. Unfortunately even after paying for expedited shipping it won't arrive until Friday. Im not sure he will make it so long as he is becoming more lethargic each day. I will keep giving him vitamins and care and hope he makes it. Thank you everyone for the help.
