I was just wondering where most people are buying medicines? I want to put together a 'just in case I need it' medicines kit because I'm worried about my birds getting ill and having to wait for things to be delivered.
I got some spot on. I'm talking about stuff like Baytril, guardian angel, etc etc.

It depends on how many birds do you have at the moment. I buy from BirdCareCo and advise you to do the same.

As Barrie says that they have useful and otherwise stuff, so discuss here before buying anything.

Baytril cannot be bought over the shelf , if anyone wants some a bottle costs approx £15 inc postage in the UK , you would need to PM me for details if you need some

How kind you are Nigel as you live quite near Donna, I too find it annoying when stuff only comes in large sizes and a very short shelf life... It makes really good sense to share if we can.

What a great offer Nigel! That is the sort of thing we really love (and need) to see.
Can I just add that nystatin is an antifungal? Should only be used for treating fungal infections.
