anyone know where i can obtain emtryl

[REDCHEQHEN]

 

Emtryl contains dimetridazole which is the same as whats in chevi-col, which is available just about everywhere  - even Harkers sell it  ;D

A vet once told me that excessive use of Emtryl over a number of years can cause fertility problems.

I thought that any antibiotics had the same long term problems not just emtryl,rose does emtryl have a higher risk in anyway

Hi, its used for treatment for canker,some fanciers use it as a boost on a thursday before sat race. A fancier in the midlands was using this product donkeys years ago and told me it was the best product he had ever used,but i think there are much better and safer products on the market today.cheers phil.

Emtryl was taken off the market because it was alleged to be a cancer causitive substance. Made by Rhone-Meryl in France.   Was widely used throughout the Pheasant and game bird industry to treat gapeworms and blackhead, also for treating Turkeys. Pigeon fanciers used it for donkey's ages to treat against Canker. Ronidadazole now the preferred treatment.  Flagyl and Canestan both contain the same substance, Dimetridazole and are useful in treating Canker.

  Canesten contains the   anti- fungal drug Clotrimazole

Dimetridazole and Metronidazole (flagyl) are antibiotics used for anaerobic bacterial infections and some protozoa.(heximita and trichomonas)

they can cause temporary sterility in birds lasting a couple of weeks

the problem with using antibiotics at too low a dose or for too short a time

means some bacteria are able to survive the treatment out of these there is the risk that some will 'learn' to resist the drug and become immune to its effect.

This is why they should never be used as a 'tonic'

The bird itself does not become immune to the drug

For example

Staphylococus Aureus  lives on most people all the time.  (on your skin and up your nose)  Causing few if any problems.

When  people  take antibiotics, for say, A sore throat etc etc. These bacteria are also exposed to the various antibiotics used and learn how to resist them.

 

The problem comes when these same bacteria get into places they shouldn't be,

such as wounds during surgery etc.and start to cause infection. As most antibiotics

will no longer work on them they are able to multiply unhindered and are known as Multiple Resistant = MRSA

Hope this helps
