CatsCube Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well after my experiance of the last few days. I really dont want the same to happen again. So I want to have a supply of medications for my chooks so I dont have to wait for stuff to arrive in the post again. Can anyone give me a list of usefull chicken medications that I could buy. Can you buy Baytrill on the net or do you have to get it from the vet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I dont think you can. We have a bottle of Respite in our "chicken box" which is good for coughs/colds/sneezes Avipro is good as well as a pick me up for poorly chooks. We also have Vetinerary wound powder (yet to use) and Purple spray for any cuts/open wounds/pecks Shellstim (for harder egg shells/helps with soft shelled eggs) Aloe vera tonic for the water, chicken spice for the food.

Christian Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think Baytril is only available through a vet, or with a prescription. I have arnica pillules, chicken spice, purple spray, aloe vera gel and mite powder. Shellstim for eggs Citricidal for sneezes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 We have a bottle of Respite in our "chicken box" which is good for coughs/colds/sneezes Respite is good,but a word of warning. it smells VERY strongly of garlic, & after the hens has emptied the Glug I put it through the dishwasher,& it made it smell of garlic - awful! I had to do 3 cleaning programmes to get rid of the smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well we have: Poultry Spice-Helps to get their mineral levels and things up during moult. Louse powder-Gets rid of lice when they have it. Citricidal-You add it to their water when they have a cold/sneezes. Latex gloves-I wear these when I'm louse powdering the chickens so it doesn't get in contact with my skin. Rescue Remedy-Good for cleaning up wounds when mixed with warm water. Vaeline-To stop the chickens getting frostbitten combs during winter. Hope that helps, Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 We have apple cider vinegar, poultry spice, red mite powder, shellstim, and bumper bits. I'd recommend all of these. I have used liquid parafin, vaseline, citricidal, and tar spray, but wouldn't prioritise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Oh also vermex, diatom, flubenvet, and liquid calcium (will probably remember a few more things shortly!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowyhen Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Think ours consists of the antiseptic spray, salt water and Rescue Remedy. Mind you, pulled old Florence back from a fox attack, knew she was getting better the next day when she didn't want the dropper of the RR to go in her beak.
