I took my sick girl to the vet today with symptoms of standing around inactive, drooping tail, and open-mouth breathing. She could find nothing wrong on exam or on throat swab for bacteria and parasites. She thinks it's probably gapeworm because there are wild pheasants running around on our place, and told me to dose her for five days with Safe-Guard Aquasol at 200 mg/mL strength, which is apparently the only FDA-approved treatment. But, she doesn't have Aquasol and neither do the farm stores around here. I really want to do something to help this chicken fast; any ideas what else I can try? The farm store had the same medication but it was a much higher-dosage paste for cattle. Thanks!
