Hen With swollen foot

[Pidgey]

Well, I guess I'd wait until she's getting off the nest for her "time out" and give it to her at the beginning of that portion as a once-per-day dose. They're just about to the point where the father's going to take over the bulk of the feeding anyhow. You can just take her off of them yourself and make the schedule according to your needs. You'll need to give her the Baytril directly, though--you can't expect her to drink it in the waterer and get it right.

Max, some of the Pigeon Supply Houses have discontinued carrying Baytril/Enrofloxan yet others continue to carry the medication.

These entries are for Baytril. I just checked the links, they all work, though
Siegel's is currently out of stock, though it lists the depletion as temporary.
The other two links, VitaKing and All Bird Products, still have Baytril/Enrofloxan
in stock.

If these sources ever dry up, there is still the option of purchasing Cipro
through medsmex.com:

It takes a couple of weeks to come through the mail so it's an item you'd
have to keep on hand. Hope this helps....
