    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Wow, what a plot twist. And a sad one at that. :( At least you have answers now though not the outcome you were looking for. Poor Betty! She is lucky to have an owner like you though. Enjoy your time together and thanks for the update.

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Great update! Thanks for the vet prescribed Osteo Form dosage. Definitely going in my notes. Hopefully she'll turn the corner next week. Really curious to hear what the bloodtest says.

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Also, a nutritional deficiency isn't common. This is why it can be a struggle to nail down.

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Mine start on chick feed, then switch to grower until POL. Then layer pellet. All very high quality feeds, plus free-range every day, all day. Free choice oyster shell. Some breeders feed all-purpose all year and supplement with Ca. It can also be breed dependent and location dependent. My soils...

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Also, electrolytes are important for the maintenance of Ca levels, so perhaps give her some electrolytes?

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    Hi akmarad. At least the thing going for you is that you got a diagnosis that her Ca and D are low. My pullet was a BPR so she was bigger than Betty (6 lb). On Oct 8 I gave her 0.25 cc of the A+D which was 6,600 IU/kg bw or 17,500 IU total IM. My notes: Seemed better the next couple days then...

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    akmarad, I've found this to be more trustworthy and helpful than the poultrydvm site: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/mrl-report/vitamin-d-summary-report-committee-veterinary-medicinal-products_en.pdf The Osteo-Form powder is great. I use the horse one but they are very similar (I also...

    Vitamin D injection dosage?

    You should let the vet do it and ask her about Osteo-Form supplement which is a powder, and use that afterwards. The IU amounts you quoted are very low and would not correct her deficiency from what I've read. She needs thousands of IUs/kg of bw not hundreds. Ask your vet how many IUs of D and...
