    Equixmax for Tapeworm Dosage

    Can say I've gotten lax taking their food bowls in at night, and mice getting in it. Their poop carries tapeworms.

    Equixmax for Tapeworm Dosage

    Appreciate this thread, especially nice to have brand and dose. Wondering, do y'all manage to hold their heads & squirt into beak, or put it on food or in water? What works best for this? Any tips appreciated. Oh! Also wondering if Equimax handles other types of common worms besides tapeworms...

    What is this poop indicating?

    Hello - have two geese that are always together, so not sure which one is doing this. Guessing is the male, who was recently in 7-day regimen of antibiotics for respiratory infection. However, it might be the female who is laying eggs and maybe having a repro issue? Anyway, is a watery dark...

    Hi there - this chicken got attacked by a dog a few weeks ago and has visibly made a full recovery. Did have some neuro damage that was like a mild stroke that took a couple weeks to visibly get past. Now this (see pics). Am wondering if other birds bullying her or if is normal moulting...

    More Lash Eggs to Pass, She Won't Take Meds

    Hi Pyxis and thanks. Fortunately the aspiration appeared minor enough for her to get past. Have been crushing the antibiotic and anti inflam and mixing with a little water, then painting edge of her beak drop by drop to get it down when she lick-swallows. May try using technique you describe...

    1y.o. RIR not eating or drinking, her sis died

    Hello - So had 1 of 5 RIR die about a week ago. Only 1y.o. in good health as far as I know. Suspected gander had killed her as he is obnoxious during mating season and he sleeps separate from hens at night because of this. Dunno if was him though. Found her at dusk by coop when went out...

    Some type of bug? Or hen-pecked?

    Sounds good on gamebird feed. Have not caught anyone picking at her. Is not lice or any sort of parasite? That might cause her to peck at her own tail?
