    Where to fill/buy meloxicam prescribed for chickens?

    Wow, interesting. I've seen so much saying that ibuprofen (motrin) is quite dangerous for chickens. I know baby aspirin in smaller doses is sometimes ok but possibly a bleeding risk problem? I emailed several online pharmacies: Valley vet - they didn't really answer the question about...

    Where to fill/buy meloxicam prescribed for chickens?

    I have a prescription from the vet. Chewy accepted my order for it. Eventually Chewy sent me the next message saying great! Your prescription has verified and your order is being fulfilled! And then eventually I got a message saying they cannot fill prescriptions for food producing animals...

    Where to fill/buy meloxicam prescribed for chickens?

    I have a prescription from the vet for meloxicam tabs for my chicken. I went to chewy. My order went through and the vet verified the prescription with chewy. Then a day later Chewy sent me a message saying they can't fill rxs for food producing animals. Other vet rx websites seem to...

    Vaccinating serama chick for mareks

    Alchesmist doesn't vaccinate and it isn't an option when you buy there. I bought some chicks from them and some from McMurray at the same time. I asked Alchemist if it was ok to have vaccinated with unvaccinated (as I also have hens that are vaccinated). SHe said it would be fine as their...

    Anyone want to play sex that chick?

    How did they all turn out? I'd guess you have 2 sage eggers and one azure there. But they are laying now and how are your eggs?

    Surprise box of chicks from Alchemist Farm

    I got a mystery box too, from Alchemist this year. Mine are 7 weeks old now. I'm pretty sure I have two azure eggers and two sage eggers. I can only tell who is who when they are all together. Then I can tell two are more silver grey in the neck and chest (azure eggers) and two are more...

    12 Day old chick whistles noisy with every exhale, also coughing or sneezing, working hard at breathing

    One month later and she is still with us. Maybe a week behind the others as far as development of tail and loss of fluff. She still breathes faster than everyone else, about 90 per minute but that's better than the 120 it was. I did take her to am avian vet. She said probably respiratory...

    White stuff? in comb cracks

    Wow scarring! I did have four roos before, now three. He's going to a friend so I want to make sure it's not contagious. I would think my little d'uccle mini roo would have the worst scarring. He always loses the girl. I'll have to go take another look at him. Thanks for your thoughts!

    White stuff? in comb cracks

    Hello! I'm wondering about this whiteness on my Isbar's comb. The whole flock has some scant whiteness but the roosters have it the worst and this Isbar is the worst of them. The hens look more like dry flakiness. They do get good organic feed and barely any treats ( a fifty pound bag of...

    12 Day old chick whistles noisy with every exhale, also coughing or sneezing, working hard at breathing

    Hatched March 15. Started March 26. She's still going at it. I'm trying to get into the avian vet but this is the only vet within 1.5 hour drive that sees chickens. She's warm enough. She's with other chicks, next to my bed so I wake up many times a night to check on them. I make sure...

    Bantam Gapeworm or something else

    12 Day old chick whistles noisy with every exhale, also coughing or sneezing, working hard at breathing

    Thanks for advice and questions! I made another video, long enough to count respirations. And there is a chick the same age in it too and you can see how different the breathing is. Eyes look good or great, but for occassionally sleepily closing. Nothing from the nose. When I open her beak...
