[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9680"] With antibiotics it is specified on the packaging how long you must wait till slaughter. All I've seen is 30 days but there may be others that are more. If she isn't running a fever and you plan on selling her anyway I wouldn't mess with antibiotics. If she gets an infection then you could treat it, but by then it may be to late. dunmovin farms > I have posted a message explaining > a vaginal prolapse which was > answered.
