Can I give fish antibiotics to my chicken ?

[ambercurly]

My girl has been sneezing and coughing lightly for a week. I’ve been using VETRX she’s eating and active. If not what over the counter Med can I use?

Fish antibiotics are what many of us use. They work splendidly on chickens as they are the same thing regardless of what species the label says they're for.

But VetRX isn't a medicine. It's merely a soother for symptoms, not a cure. You would want to treat a suspected respiratory disease with Tylosin. Get it here without a prescription. https://www.jedds.com/shop/tylan-soluble-100-g/

Factors such as what you are treating for, type of antibiotic and weight of bird in question will be key. Start a new thread with your issues for best results.

The dose for an average size chicken, three to five pounds, is 250mg per day for ten days.

Never heard of vent molting. What is it?

Most all fish antibiotics in the US now require a vet prescription.
