[QUOTE="Quatie, post: 25923519, member: 594383"] The FDA banned it because they don't want antibiotic resistant bacteria. Baytril is very close to another antibiotic used in humans, so they want to reduce it. This is more aimed at commercial farmers. Unfortunately it is a really highly effective drug, and others don't necessarily work. A lot of vets still prescribe it because of how effective it is. As for the eggs, the vet has to say that you can't eat the eggs any more. He is trying to be a good and proper vet, which is respectable. However, after a couple weeks from the ducks last dose, there is no longer any trace of antibiotics in the eggs. Some wait a month to be sure. If you want to eat the eggs at that point, it's fine. If you still don't want to, that is fine as well. Good luck with making the duck shoes. Sounds like you have a great plan for them. [/QUOTE]
