Sew What?

[Birdrain92]

If you can find Sulmet, buy it. If you have Sulmet on hand, hoard it.

It has vanished from the market.

I can find it with no problems at all. It's sold at my local hatchery.

Three-day progress check shows the scabbing is looking good, but I am wondering if the green is from the Blu-Kote or something worse?

The green is probably just bruising. -Kathy

This thread has some pictures of a hen with that green bruising:

This is going to make things so difficult for people! This is going to be interesting for poultry people like us since very few vets know much about poultry. I don't think I would be able to prescribe you guys antibiotics when I'm a vet.

Thanks Kathy! It does sound like bruising. I wonder why that gal with the ripped open chicken didn't sew it up, I only read the first page so I assume it lived.

I guess I am still blessed with a great vet, I get all my meds from her so that won't change much for me. Will she have to write a script for medicated chick feed?

She did live... I also had one like that, and like her, I chose not to sew it. Not because i thought it shouldn't be sewn, but because I didn't have the supplies.

Since amprolium is not an antibiotic, no script needed.
