loulou Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Rose, my Gingernut ranger has now recovered fully and has laid 2 eggs ............wait for it....with shells! hoorah!! However she has been on antibiotics and finished them a week and a half ago.The eggs came yesterday and today. The vet said the antibiotics would take a week to be out of her system , so they should be ok to eat but wondered if anyone could help as i really want to be on the safe side. Thanks for any help.

Egluntyne Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'd risk it as you are over the week mentioned by the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah 2 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Mine had antibiotics. The vet advised that we wait 2 weeks. But it depends on what ones they have. So I think you'll have to trust your vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentle1973 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 My friend was told not to eat the eggs for a month after they finished the antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue and the Spice Girls Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 How long you should leave it will depend on the 'withdrawal period' of the antibiotics and different preparations of the same medication have different ones so you need to check. Ask your vet, who will tell you. One antibiotic I've looked up states "Chickens, staughter one day, egg withdrawal period nil". It all depends on the product license.
