Please help Eggcessive! I found a lash egg in my chickens sleeping area. I already gave her two rounds of antibiotics amoxicillin already bc I think she had EYP and laid some bad eggs and was barely hanging on. 2 weeks later she is acting fine but had just laid a lash egg. I got some 10% 10mg Enrofloxacin pills for pigeons. What is the proper dose?and how many times a day?Salpingitis is a very common reproductive disorder. It may not be apparent in some hens until death when internally laid lash egg material is found in the abdomen. Once lash material is found, it may or may not help to treat with antibiotics. Unless you can single out the hen is having the problem, I would not use antibiotics. Amoxicillin or Baytril (enrofloxacin) are antibiotics often used to treat salpingitis. Baytril is banned for chickens to help prevent antibiotic resistance, but is sometimes prescribed for this problem. Your hen may live with this problem for weeks, months, or years without treatment, hard to know. Many stop laying altogether. Salpingitis is sometimes due to bacteria in the reproductive tract, and include mycoplasma, E. Coli and others. Here is some info on salpingitis:

Should I give her immediately or wait to see if she starts having “symptoms”
I have attached some pictures…
