I have a sick bird in need of Baytril (enrofloxacin), and I need help determining the correct measurements. I purchased "Enrofloxacin 10% Powder." The packaging includes instructions for administering the drug in drinking water, but because my chicken is not drinking much and the taste of...
I am using up the last of prescribed Baytril 10% oral on a 2.5 lb hen that is no longer laying and we won't be eating. I had someone give her tonight's dose as I wasn't able to do it and they gave her .5 ml instead of .05 ml. Has anyone ever had this happen? Will she be okay? I should have...

Hello!!! Our pigeons have a one week old baby and he had been doing great, but yesterday he seemed to be breathing kind of hard but we thought it might be because it was hot out…today, he’s breathing more heavily and it makes a clicking sound, so we were suspecting some sort of respiratory...
My chicken developed EYP, and I've been treating her with baytril 10 (oral). However, at the onset of EYP her crop swelled up and stopped emptying. It isn't sour crop (yet) as there's no smell, but she's drinking lots of water and it--along with the meds--seem to just be sitting in her crop...
I had two sick hens, Betsy and Coco, both 9-months old, both had diarrhea and purplish/light colored combs and wattles, although they were not acting any differently. Still eating, drinking, playing in the yard, taking dust baths, interacting well with me and each other, etc. First Betsy was...
The attached picture is the medicine I got my girls. So I’m trying to figure out how much to give them. The bottle says 10mgs/kg body weight so I figured that means 20mgs per hen.( cause each hen weights about 5lbs and that converted to mgs is 2kgs per hen. ) so I’m confused because the syringe...

Well, here I am not 24 hours from Prolapse Week...with my 6 yr old Mabel, a not-so-big Jersey Giant.
I noticed 2 days ago she was keeping to herself. Yesterday morning, I found 2 large pieces of very soft eggshell on the poop board.
Yesterday afternoon I happened to see her from a spot where...
Is the dose on the bottle correct orrrr ??? I don’t want to accidentally overdose my birds but don’t want to underdose either. I’ve seen varying things. Also if it is correct, it would be 0.3 on the syringe right? For 6-7 lb hen? Don’t worry, I will measure them to get an exact weight beforehand...
Vet told us to give 1 ml baytril injections in our rooster’s wing. How do you give wing injections? I read some awful things about baytril injections. Will he be ok if we give him the injections the vet gave us?

I have an older hen (10 yrs) and for the past few weeks she has been exhibiting signs of what I would think is a mild respiratory illness or sinus infection (I say mild because she's doing great apart from her symptoms and is very alert and active for her age). Her symptoms include: occasional...

Hi! My hen hasn’t been doing well, so after taking her to the vet, I was sent home with some Baytril injections to give her intramuscularly.
