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.

Absolutely fabulous product, would purchase again, and again.
I am using this for treating bumblefoot for a rooster, in conjunction with home surgery. It seems to help, although since it's a severe case, I am using it long term. He does not like to eat it alone, so I am crumbling and mixing with things like chickenfeed, cooked oatmeal. Chopped oatmeal. I have used it in the past, and some chickens will eat it by itself.
It may not work with that feeding regime, because the concentration of medication depends on the animal eating nothing else. If it doesn't eat enough of this flake, the amount of medication consumed will be too little.
Great product
Used to treat my duck for bumblefoot. It’s far less traumatic for the duck than shoving a syringe down the throat if they will eat it. It’s nice to have another weapon in your duck first aid kit.
I got this for my chicken for a severe case of bumble foot. It helped momentarily, but I think I still have to do surgery and drain it. I had to resort to syringe feeding it to her because she refused to eat it. (My chickens are super spoiled.)
After a few days of force feeding I noticed a slight difference, but the foot is still swollen with puss. I will continue force feeding for the remainder of the ten days and see where I should go from there. This product probably saved her life. I didn't know where to turn to until I found this on your daughters blog. Thank her for me. :)

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.
