    Has Albendazole been banned?

    OK. If you don't think that I should switch it up right now, I am going to use the liquid for goats and dose as you state here. I am not keen on going the water route as I want to ensure each of the girls gets enough individually. They generally don't mind me handling them, it's just hot here...

    Has Albendazole been banned?

    I have been looking for Valbazen (sp?) wormer and can't find it anywhere. I need to treat for roundworms in my flock. I have used Safeguard the last times I have wormed them and I wanted to use a different wormer to avoid resistance. Has this been discontinued? I am looking for something that is...

    How to read a syringe

    I was assuming that the infection was persisting. She took a turn for the worst and I made the call to put her out of her misery. :(

    How to read a syringe

    Your very welcome. I am still trying to make sure there's no hope for my girl. Don't have the equipment to cull yet. The last thing I feel fits her symptoms was Water Belly. I bathed her today and then attempted to drain her. Her backside looks dark, kind of like a bruise. She's been crated...

    How to read a syringe

    Hi everyone, I hope I am posting this video in the correct place. Sorry if it has been posted somewhere else here. I just thought it might help those of us that are needing to figure out dosing with a syringe. :)

    Trying to determine if I am dealing with the beginnings of Water Belly

    I want to do the cervical dislocation method, but I am a senior woman and I am so afraid I won't have enough strength to do it quickly, completely and humanely. This is probably the method I will use. I will have to go and get the supplies today. I wish there was a way to sedate her before I do...

    Trying to determine if I am dealing with the beginnings of Water Belly

    Thank you for your response. She was on Enro this past week. Seemed to start to pull out of it, but is back to not eating or drinking. Been giving Poultry Drench with feed puree by tube, but I think it's time to make the decision to end her suffering. I HATE THIS PART but don't want her to...

    Trying to determine if I am dealing with the beginnings of Water Belly

    HELP!! It's been 5 days since she went back out with her sisters. She is back to not eating ANYTHING. She is losing weight again. Can anyone give me ANY ideas on what to do for her?? Her belly isn't any bigger than it was 5 days ago. She has been able to get up on the roost at night and down in...

    Trying to determine if I am dealing with the beginnings of Water Belly

    Hi all, I have a hen that has been off for a few weeks. I am wondering if she is developing water belly but don't know how to tell or what, if anything else, I should/could do for her. I don't know if I should poke her to see if she would drain or if I should just observer her. Her belly isn't...

    Hen not eating

    UPDATE: Miss Luna is now visiting the nest box the last couple of days. No eggs yet. She had lost all interest in them when she was ill. She doesn't stay in there long, but maybe this is a sign she's gonna begin laying again. Will still have to do an egg withdrawl, but that's OK. If she doesn't...

    Hen not eating

    He gave her 480mg SMZ Tribrissen. I had to cut the tablets into fourths and give her 1/4 twice a day for 7 days. He mentioned Bactrim and that it would be off label use, so I don't know if that is the generic that we got. She has none of her symptoms and has been eating and drinking well. She...

    Hen not eating

    Yes, it was a lash egg. I actually found out that we have a vet within driving distance. She got an antibiotic. She laid another one a couple of days into taking her antibiotics, but the vet said it was just her body shedding the infection since she was getting better. She has been out with her...

    HELP! Question on treatment of lash egg

    @Eggcessive I called a vet in a couple cities away. they send off their samples for testing. They said it was $200. Does that sound about right for bacterial culture of a lash egg? They send off to A&M, I am in Texas. Do you know of any other labs I can send to? Their wait for results was 3...
