Quick! Questions you wish you could ask a vet?

Thank you for asking! Her advice was to do nothing, so I started a thread

I'd find a new vet, if I were you. Do nothing? Are you f*ng kidding me? At least my vet, who has never seen your chickens and knows nothing about your setup, advised trying a different medication. I will contact him tomorrow and ask again about what that acronym was, and let you know!

My vet said he would refer to a guide for other medications. I am very sorry - I thought he said an acronym like anada or ranad or narad, but I cannot find it for you! The gist, though, is that a different treatment would be needed. Refer to your vet.

Farad maybe?

YES! I think that's it! @Red Horse

"Modern animal agriculture relies heavily on the use of therapeutic drugs, pesticides and other agents that improve overall animal health and promote safe, efficient and humane production practices. Through the assimilation of a comprehensive drug database and the use of state-of-the-art pharmacokinetic modeling, FARAD scientists determine appropriate withdrawal periods for a wide array of chemical entities and provide this information to veterinarians, extension specialists and livestock producers through a toll-free call center as well as a publicly accessible web site (FARMWeb). In addition, FARAD provides rapid response assistance regarding extra-label use of drugs in animal agriculture, and during food contamination emergencies which might arise from accidental exposure to environmental toxins, particularly pesticides, or intentional efforts to contaminate the food supply. Finally, FARAD provides assistance in trade matters related to foreign drug approvals and trains future veterinarians in the principles of residue avoidance."

Thank you!!! I was just praising that vet in another thread because the only other one in my area who sees chickens is a little crazy and wants an arm and a leg to treat them, and this person had been helping me on the cheap. She told me to stop giving corid and give them probiotics (which they have been on all this time) and just see how they do. But some look like they're getting sick again while still on the corid?? And some of the nasty bloody and yellow foamy poops in the healthy-looking chickens never stopped. I've been getting much better advice here on BYC since I posted about it and I'm so grateful!!!
