Re: beak infection

ok,
I found some metronidazole which seems to be the recommended treatment
in the US. I saw dosage recommendations of 250mg for large hen.
On pigeon site 60mg/Kg of weight.

Does it get into eggs.

Are the eggs from the rest of the flock OK if the hens look OK?

ok, thanks

I assume I should separate her from the others. Can it transfer to
humans?
She is getting a little puffed looking and is not as interested in
food it seems.

How quickly does it spread/grow?
I see Harkanka for sale here but I am in the US. I wonder if it has
other names.
