Fish Flakes: Antibiotic
Antibiotic I: Designed to primarily stop infections from gram-negative bacteria. We use our Freshwater Fish Flake Food for the base formula on this flake. It has added garlic. Feed this medicated fish food exclusively for 10 days.
Active ingredient: Kana mycin Sulfate. Now contains beta-glucan. It is water-soluble, so the Proper Feeding of Medi-cated Fish Food is a must-read. We recommend feeding our Prevent & Recover Fish Flake for 1 week after the medicated feeding is discontinued. For ornamental fish use only.
Antibiotic II: To complement our other antibiotic flake, this one attacks gram-positive bacteria. Since your nitrifying bacteria are also gram-positive, using medicated fish flake food is by far the best way to combat this type of bacteria. Feed this fish food exclusively for 10 days.
Active ingredient: Oxy tetracycline Hydro chloride. Also containing beta glucan for immune boosting. This is water-soluble, so the Proper Feeding of Medicated Fish Food is a must (See Article section of Tabs). We recommend feeding our Prevent & Recover Flake for 1 week after the medicated feeding is discontinued. For ornamental fish use only.
Packed in a Black Foil zip-lock bag, which will keep your food fresher for a longer time.

My duck has suffered w/bumblefoot. I tried to remove it & not sure if I did but she’s making a comeback. I believe the antibiotic fish flakes are helping her internally fight off infection as her foot heals. She’s back to walking pretty good.
I have been treating bumblefoot in my chickens for a couple of months making no headway. After treatment with the Antibiotic 2 there is no infection left. Thank you so much!
I had a chicken that started as an open cut on her toe and progressed despite constant soakings and clean outs. The area had gotten so large I was afraid it would spread to the muscle tissue, of course I ended up checking my entire flock for bumble foot afterwards. I ended up with 7 hens that had bumbles (starting, and progressing worse and knew they needed to be cut out) I ended up finding this blog with the link to this antibiotic treatment. At this point I had nothing to lose- I started it 9 days ago, and this has been amazing. With persistent soaking and bandage changes, the antibiotic has almost helped the bumbles come out as the wounds are all now healing from the inside out! I am so relieved and if I could give this 10 stars I would. I feed 2x a day mixed in rice and banana for my flock that have the infections. 5 out of my 7 are completely healed and bumbles popped out! 2 still squeezing matter out, and my cut toe girl, the swelling and redness is down and we finally, FINALLY got the sac to break and the infection is coming out! Thank you for your product!! 🙌🏼🫶🏼
Used antibiotic II for a pet rooster with bumble foot. 10 days of only this and his foot pads have decreased in size a lot. He’s been suffering for months with no real improvements. I’d give it a 5 star if he heals completely! Fingers crossed.
Purchased for a chicken with a staph infection. Had to turn it into a paste with regular feed and blue berries for her to eat. Gradually removed feed and blueberries. Seemed to work for our girl.

Don't be fooled into thinking a fish food is good just because fish readily eat it. Children prefer candy over broccoli, but it doesn't mean that candy is better for them. A taste preference can easily be acquired through hunger. Getting them to prefer foods that are also very good for them, is the trick. Even though it's not always needed, our way of getting them to develop a taste for a new food, works. It is described below.
Fish won't eat their new food? When switching to a new fish food, we highly recommend getting the fish very hungry. Often times, fish become accustomed to a particular fish food and will not eat another, no matter how good it is for them. When introducing a new food, we usually don't feed the fish for 24-48 hours, depending on the size of the fish, and then offer only one bite per fish (key to success). Remove food after 1 minute if uneaten. Do this every few hours. It may take several days, especially for larger fish that have become accustomed to other fish foods. Don't worry, fish can easily and safely go much longer than this without food. Allowing the food to sit uneaten in the tank for even a couple hours can turn them off to the food permanently. If you don't give in, this method works every time.
Using this technique, you can quickly get most fish to eat a new food like ravenous piranha without much effort. In fact, we have to be careful feeding, because they often jump out of the tank in their feeding frenzy. Watch some of our fish feeding in the below video. Keep in mind, they were first introduced to these fish foods using this technique.
