JB09 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My girls have came off of a course of Baytril last Monday. Does anyone know when I will be able to start eating their eggs again? Even when they were ill they were laying everyday - was such a shame having to throw them away. The eggs that is JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi, My girls were on Baytril in the autumn. I threw away their eggs during the treatment and did not sell any for a couple of weeks afterwards. The company that produces Baytril told our vet's practice not to use the eggs for 6 weeks! I think they were erring on the side of caution as Baytril isn't licensed for use in poultry and they don't want litigation, etc. if anyone was to become ill. I must confess that we used the eggs ourselves one week after the end of treatment - with no ill effects - but if you, or any of your family is pregnant, or anyone is allergic to antibiotics, or you are thinking of selling the eggs, then leave it for longer than I did just to be on the safe side.

Sal119 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 We were told 6 weeks as well, but we probably ate them after about 5. The vet made my husband sign a disclaimer to say we wouldn't put the eggs in the food chain. I know what you mean about throwing the lovely eggs away .....
