Amprol and such...where to buy?

Good evening everyone....I hope all is well with you and yours . I just have a quick question...merely for the purpose of...shall we say...education and advance preparation? I have been learning so very much over these past few months from all of you wonderful poultry paragons, however, I recently read another posting about the use of Amprol for treating cocci. Now...I currently do not require this drug...thanks to goodness...and hopefully never will (should I be so lucky? lol) but I thought I should ask my fellow Saskatchewanians where on earth I would by such things here on the prairies. I live between Saskatoon and Regina and travel often to both cities so can one buy such things as Amprol and Tetracyline at either one? Or is this something I would have to order online or from a vet? I would absolutely hate to ever have a need for these things immediately and then have to wait to have it shipped out. So maybe I have to order it and always have it on hand? Not sure. Anyway...any thoughts/advice/suggestions are quite appreciated and I value your input! If there are any other medications, vitamins, minerals etc. that I should always have on hand please go ahead and throw some of those ideas my way as well. I love reading all of the new posts on here every day and shall continue to do so. Thanks in advance and everyone have a most fabulous evening!

Here in Alberta I buy Amprol at the Coop Feed store by the gallon. It is 117.00 plus tax and I believe in having it on hand for the reason that you said.

There might be some available at Cowtown in Regina, but I had to order mine in through my vet. Cost me a bit more because of vet mark up, but I think it was $130/gallon. It lasts a very long time because you do not use much, just keep it in a cool dark place and it will keep well for you.

I have ordered both products from my local vet. They are not a poultry vet but have access to those products.

The local Co-op feed store in town here will order whatever I need. They get there stock from Kane Vet Supply. I just ordered some Tylan today, along with a few other things. They have a small amount of stuff on hand, but most of the things I need, I have to order. Your best bet is to make some friends at your local feed store and they will help you out. I always found a batch of warm Chocolate chip cookies never hurt. I seem to be there a couple times a week for something. The prices are a little lower than ordering through the vet.

Northstar Doves carries a huge selection of poultry medications and most are available in small quantities. I was really glad I had picked up a pouch of MedPet 4 in 1 last February prior to hatching season - just to have on hand. It is an effective treatment for coccidiosis, so I was really glad I had picked it up 'just in case'. Ive never in past years had a chick get sick with cocci, so I wouldn't normally have anything on hand. I ended up only losing 1 chick which was looking so poor I felt I had to put it down. The others all bounced right back after the treatment.
