Okay, I will get tylan and watch them and I’ll use that if they get worse before I’m able to get my hands on some baytril. Is there going to be a time I have to wait to stop one and start another? What about eg withdrawals?
That or I know you can get fish antibiotics? Would any of those be better and cover more of the same thing that clavamox does?
You can give Tylan and Baytril at the same time I think, so no need to wait. Withdrawals, probably two weeks for the Tylan. Baytril though, is not approved for use in poultry and some people will tell you it's a lifetime withdrawal, but that's not what I do, I use it but I wait 2-4 weeks before eating the eggs.
Clavamox is amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. The closest fish one would be amoxicillin, but amoxicillin on it's own is not as effective in treating stuff like e. Coli.

okay, I’ve heard about it being banned for commercial use, so I couldn’t easily find anything. Thank you so much! I’ll be sure to update how things go and I’m sure I’ll come up with more questions, now that the vet has kind of left me on my own. I’ve been slowly building up my poultry first aid kit, but haven’t bought a ton of antibiotics because I’m not the first to throw antibiotics and things and potentially cause resistance. I might need to stock up now lol.
To me, that sounds like a good thing to do, to let them send out someone to test them. And it would save a lot of money. AI is pretty rare, and you would have probably heard about it being a problem in your area if there was a chance of it. But that is just my opinion.
Ok, it just seemed a bit too good to be true. I would still have to pay for the testing; it would just be getting the tests performed that I would not have to pay for.
I have done research and since discovered that. I had a drake whom I took to the vet for a swollen hock and intermittent sneezing in June. I'm now really wondering if the vet missed something and that was when something began.
