Where can I buy antibiotics??

[BabeMj]

I used to be able to but amox from chewy without a vet prescription but no longer can. I have no avian vets near me and to take them to a vet would be 200$ just to see them. Is there anywhere I can purchase antibiotics without prescription from vet.

I got my antibiotics from allbirdproducts.com. They have antibiotics for pigeons that don't need prescription. I believe there are many other places online you can order too. Those antibiotics are usually for fish or pet birds, but it's the same thing.

I get my antibiotics from my doctor, I just explain that I need them to help my sick hen and I can’t get them anywhere else, she gives me “that” look and hands over a prescription while shaking her head.

I don’t see antibiotics just the powders? How do those work for hens

Chickens need about amoxicilin 25 mg per pound twice a day. Every teaspoon is 5g. If you buy the 10% powder, 1 teaspoon has 5000mg x 0.1 = 500 mg. If you mix it in 100ml water, 1ml mix has 5mg amoxicilin. So a 5 lb hen gets 25ml (125mg) each time. Or if you mix 1 teaspoon in 20ml water, a 5 lb hen get 5ml.

Is my only option to mix it in water. Can I put the powder on a piece of bread or something like that

Yeah, you can do that too. 1/4 teaspoon powder for a 5lb hen.
