Thank you Kathy as you were very helpful, but my Prettyboy George did not make it. He passed this morning. I am very frustrated with myself as if I were more educated about sickness I feel I could had been more successful.
Kathy,
Would you suggest to continue with what I have as a antibiotic (Sulfamethoxazole TMP SUSP) As this medicine is not in your suggested medicine regimen. Also, can you give at same time as others?
I felt his craw and he feels like he has fluid (not a lot a small fist amount) maybe from what I fed this morning. I seen him drinking a bit earlier, maybe that is why. How can I tell he has enough, by his craw? I don't have the Baytril but will get from vet tomorrow. Corid - do I get that from...
Thank you so much Kathy, as I have took a lot of your time today. I am so very gracious.
I hope he makes it until tomorrow so I can get some poo and get a test completed. (I will keep your notes in mind during learning results of negative on blackhead) His poo is a bright yellow with little...
My vet knows me well, due to my many babies, so I would have no problem getting what I need.
Do you know if Baytril is the Sulfamethoxazole? I asked for Baytril and the Sulfa is what his girls gave me. They said the same.
My plan is to take some poop to the vet tomorrow, which I should had done yesterday when I asked for the Metronidazole he started yesterday morning.
Kathy provided the prescription above in post #23, which I really appreciated, and I have all of it as I've collected within the last few weeks due...
My vet prescribed Sulfamethoxazole-TMP SUSP at 8 milliliters by mouth twice a day for 10 days - He is not a avian vet but went off information I gave him off the web. My question is that the right dose and if not what is. Also, does that work against E.coli? Can I give him this medicine with the...
Kathy I seen this post on another Thread. My question is can you give all these medications at the same time?
You said possible E.coli as well. Since I do have a antibiotic called Sulfamethoxazole-TMP SUSP should I be using this along side of the Metronidazole I am giving him now? I was doing...
I am in just tears over this and feel horrible! E.coli, if I go to my vet tomorrow, do you feel I have a chance? And how and why do they get that, I have never heard of it.
He has been ill for several weeks now. Loosing weight by the day. Trying to eat but not successful, except for small...
I just noticed a difference in my Safe-guard than the one you posted. Mine is made by Equine/Dewormer/ 25gram Paste 10% (100mg/g) Merck Animal Health is the maker. It reads a lot about horses. Is there a difference in Goat kind and horse kind? This is the product Southern States suggested I get...
Yes Kathy, he is very sick. He has always been strong minded, bossy and the king of my yard and now he is weak and existing.
Thank you for the heads up on the liquid intake as I am watching his every move just about. I will try to get more fluids in him.
How long do you think I should give the...
Prettyboy weighs approximately 6 to 8 pounds now. He has lost a lot of weight as he was a heavy bird months ago and thriving. He has no other birds around him.
On the question of "How much Safeguard given" I was giving through Syringe of .07ml approximately.
He is drinking water and electrolytes often and also when I give him medicine, I give him a small amount approximate 6 to 9ml of water or electrolytes.
He is pecking at food but not eating much, so...
Yes, he started the Metronidazole 250MG twice a day, yesterday. So, three doses thus far.
I wormed him twice already with SafeGuard paste and antibiotic for 10 days once a day. NOT sure the vet told me correct amount of antibiotic to give due to he is not a Avian vet and was going off...
