I know Fish-Mox is often recommended. Does anyone know if fish antibiotics are likely to be part of the ban?

I'm lucky that my vet will at least consider seeing a chicken. She has minimal avian experience, but is open to it. But the costs!

You know what isn't even fair? Vets don't earn all that much money. I know two, and they drive unexceptional cars, worry about bills, and live a fairly modest lifestyle. If insurance didn't pay our medical bills, we would all be bankrupt.

They're saying they want to ban fish antibiotics too. I can see why. They're the same ones made for people too, just put into different packaging. I suspect it's more about controlling what people have access to, than the animals.

It has been over a 3 year period, not so bad.

So just let the animals drop dead because people can't find or afford vets to treat their birds or fish.
