    My Crop Tube Feeding Journey With My Bird (Pics For Visuals- VERY detailed Post)

    Update: At 6:30 this morning, I tubed another 30cc of Pedi into her. She was panting a lot, but it is warm and humid. I'm now guessing it was labored breathing? About 5 min. after tubing her, I heard a loud squawk, turned and saw her flapping all over the place. She looked like she was seizing...

    Technical ?. Does the 125ml include the fluid in the food prep, or just water/Pedi intake? :)

    I tried olive oil. Would work for a bit, then lock up. Tossed em. Luckily, I have a med. supply pharmacy 5 miles down the road so I could pick up some more. Also ordered 30ml ones, since I saw the 60ml break down faster. Had to buy a box....56 of them, but hey! I figure if I have them, I may not...

    The current outside temp is 81, and she seems comfy. That wasn't the case the last 5 days or so....high 90's! A bit ago, I tired to get another 20ml of Pedi in her. Stupid syringe. It locked up on me. Wouldn't plunge. Two tries to get maybe 15 cc in. Gah! Another thought. I wonder if my...

    This is how she looks. I just brought her in to try to give her more Pedialyte, but her crop is still fairly full. And....she's doing that listing thing..... This is her healthy... Sigh.....

    God bless you for being so quick to reply!! You are a huge comfort to those of us getting up to speed. I ordered Baytril yesterday, so it may be a few days before I receive it. I saw your other post on 20mg/kg so I'll be able to figure out her dose. I have Tylan 50 injectable as another med, but...

    Thank you, Kathy. No, never forced, but I think I need to smear a little olive oil on it to make it slide easier. The jugular idea makes sense to me. I'll try not to press as hard. On average, when do people see an improvement?? In some ways she's better and in some, worse. She is weaker today...

    Resurrecting this one a bit...I just started tube feeding my hen yesterday afternoon. All of the information on this thread has been extremely helpful!! Thanks to the original OP and to Kathy for her never ending wisdom in all things chicken! I have to admit, it is a bit nerve wracking to tube...
