Medications Labeled for Pigeons

Most manufacturers of medications do not print the withdrawal periods fo eggs produced for human consumption and for slaughter.  According to what I can find on the internet, the minimal withdrawal period for slaughter is 28 days and for eggs is 7 days. Research shows that for some drugs 10 to 14 days is not enough.  The best thing to do is Google What is the withdrawal period  for X.  I did just that for several  meds.  The withdrawal period for Tylosin pwd. For eggs used for human consumption is 2 to 4 weeks and 0 days for slaughter.  There is a 7-day withdrawal period for slaughter for Doxycline.  It is not approved for usage in hens laying eggs used for human consumption.  If you are using medications in birds which are used for producing eggs for human consumption or for meat, Google the withdrawal periods for that particular drug on a reliable veterinary site. The withdrawal period is figured from the last day of usage.  Ie.  If you finished using a medication on the 10th day of the month and the withdrawal period is 14 days, then it would safe to start eating the eggs of the 24th day of the month.
