It doesn't bother me, we're not going to ever eat her eggs again at this point. I imagine it bothers him as he's only ever prescribed sulfatrim and has said he is limited in what he can prescribe for chickens, knowing that we have had 2 (now passed) chickens with severe infections. One ended up having a ruptured oviduct, and the other was the immunocompromised one I mentioned already. I am going to ask him about it, of course, and we did order the enrofloxacin from jedd's though it won't be here until Friday. Pepper has an appointment tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. Btw, I don't know if I mentioned but she is drinking on her own (or if I put water in front of her) and she is eating the moving prey items. She ate 100 live crickets yesterday and is eating the live mealworms this morning. Doesn't seem interested in any of the normal pellet or scratch foods, however.Enrofloxacin is banned in poultry by the FDA, although some vets will prescribe it for reproductive disorders. If that bothers you, you may not want to use it. It is not banned for dogs or cats however, just chickens. The similar antibiotic cipro is used in people.
