some vets do say never eat the eggs after using Baytril as I don't think it is licensed for poultry however I do know others will say wait one month from the end of the treatment before eating the eggs. But whatever you decide make sure you don't sell her eggs.

I have removed your other post as this is a duplicate post to this.

Staffies are softer than you think.

luckily for me my vet never prescribes this antibiotic for my poultry, in future ask your vet for another type such as Tylan, Aureomycin, Deneguard - if they will treat the illness then the egg withdrawal is manageable.
