Hi

is sulmet ok to use on laying hens?

Instead of pine tar, try ichthamol dressing, its additionally good for abscesses and bumblefoot.

I would like to add Wonder Dust, its great for any open wounds, especially degloved wounds.

Also, terramyacin for URI and Aloe Juice and mineral oil. Both are good for impacted crop and the mineral oil is good for scaly leg mites too.

Betadine, clorhexidine and sterile saline as well as a supply of sterile dosing syringes for flushing wounds.

Gauze pads for cleaning wounds. Sterile Suture kits for stitching blood vessels, but never open wounds, these need air.

Vetrap or gauze wrap for bandaging wounds while still allowing air flow.

Aquatic Ciprofloxacin (no need for a prescription).

I try to keep hydrogen peroxide, athletic tape, tetracycline, antibiotic ointment (no painkiller), wazine, sevin dust, and cotton balls on hand. Right now, I also have some Poly-Vi-Sol vitamins that we just bought.
