Tell me, what are the analogues of Enrofloxacin in veterinary medicine? We bought broiler chickens, after a week everyone started to snot, and the growth stopped. The pharmacy advised Enrofloxacin, but at the moment it is not available. Delivery of drugs only after two weeks, what to do? I'm afraid the bird will die during this time. What can replace it?

No one is immune from diseases, including our indoor pets or poultry and animals from subsidiary plots. One of the most effective drugs is Enrofloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic. If you cannot get it for some reason, you can use Enrofloxacin analogues in veterinary medicine. They have the same properties and destroy pathogenic microbes. What is an antibiotic, in what cases is it used and how to replace it?
