what meds to keep on hand?

[Chicken Chickita]

I'd like to keep a supply of medications that I might need for my chickens. I have Wazine and Amprol. I had a chicken with a respiratory infection recently and treated her with some antibiotics that I had left over from a vet visit and it worked. The yellow powder antibiotics that I had from TSC did not. Do you recommend an injectable to keep on hand? What about other items? I would very much appreciate any suggestions.

add Tylan and Corid to your list!

Thanks!! For injectables, what guage syringe should I order?

I currently have Sulmet, amoxicillan, polyvisol vitamins, and Sevin dust on hand. I'm going to buy Albendazole(wormer that kills ALL worms) next spring. I also have Oxine in case of an upper respiratory fungal infection as well.

Excellent! I'll definitely get those things! Thanks so much! Any suggestion on syringe gauge?
