Salpingitis antibiotic questions

[Sylver Queen]

I don't know about the combination of drugs you mentioned but I thought I'd share what I did to treat my hen who was laying quite large lash eggs. Since treatment she hasn't laid anymore lash eggs, her energy has returned, she's eating well and she doesn't have anymore diarrhea. I think Oregano oil probably contributed to her recovery as well as Manuka honey along with the Baytril. Oregano oil has anti bacterial and anti viral properties. Good luck!!

I am having lash eggs and shell less eggs in my 1-year-old Blue Andalusian hen. Came here looking for Baytril dosage and I'm so glad I found it, but I also have oregano oil and honey on hand and I love trying as many natural methods as I can! Been having so much health trouble with my flock the last few weeks and I'm hoping I don't have more casualties, but I'm definitely getting lash eggs now. Would you mind sharing how you use the oregano oil and honey? Thanks for any information!

Replying to my own because it won't let me edit. I have since learned that I need "oil of oregano" rather than oregano essential oil so I ordered that.

I'm also kicking myself a bit, because my lash egg hen was holding steady when her antibiotic came in so I didn't administer right away, and now that the heat has hit she's gone down hard and I'm not sure she'll pull through. Live and learn.

For salpingitis, enrofloxacin (Baytril is one brand) is usually considered the best option. I will link to two sources where you can get the oral medication without prescription. Dose is .045 ml per pound of body weight twice a day for 5 days. It is given orally. If you have never given medication orally before, the last link is to info on how to do that safely.

Thank you for this. Did you use the 10% in their water or the 2.5% orally. The link goes straight to the 10%. However, I found the 2.5% on their site, but unfortunately, it does not give the dosage.

I used the 10% orally. Dosages I've used are:
10 mg per kg of body weight 2 times a day for 5 days (0.1 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%)
15 mg per kg of body weight once a day for 5 days (0.15 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%)
20 mg per kg of body weight once a day for 5 days (0.2 ml per 2.2 lbs of the 10%)
