    The injectable can be given in the muscle or SC, but I guess if I were going to inject the oral I would probably do sc.

    I would not suggest injecting the oral unless there was no other choice.

    I forgot to mention that you can get nystatin and ketoconazole without a prescription, just google Medistatin and ketoconazole for fish.

    Okay, so let's round that up to 1.6 kg. If she were mine I would give her one 250 mg capsule twice a day. It's a little more than the 125 mg/kg amout, but I think there are some formularies that say as much as 150 mg/kg can be given.

    Ah, yeah, selling something like that out of a store is illegal. Not sure how the online places get away with it. Enrofloxacin is prescription only, but the pigeon and game bird websites have found a way around the law, that or the FDA doesn't have the manpower to deal with them.

    The fish mox will be fine. Enrofloxacin injectable is what you should get, and it can be given orally. Fear not, giving injections is easier than tube feeding, so I am 100% sure you'll have no trouble. :D

    Since her crop is slow to empty, I would try to find injectable Baytril. In the meantime, you could try some oral amoxicillin. Dose is 56 mg per pound orally twice a day.

    I have found that this is probably the most frustrating part of tube feeding. Where in California are you?

    I'm going through the exact same thing right now with a turkey hen. Her crop gets so full that food and liquid pour out when she puts her head down. :thShe's also doing that weird head and neck thing. I started her on Baytril, metronidazole, Valbazen, and Corid. Today I am going to add Nystatin...

    I agree that she might have an infection. Can you get some Baytril or Cipro and some metronidazole?
