Does anyone know where to get Nystatin oral liquid online?

** NOTE - Walter looked just just like the specimen in your post CASTPORTPONY before any initial treatment was started. RECOMMENDATION TO ALL: If you can go to the vet and pick up a NASAL SWAB CULTURE TEST KIT and swab your chicken and take it back to send off you will get EXACT...

Awesome! Enrofloxacin is a great drug too. Thanks for the pics!!

THE FOLLOWING IS AN OPINION AND EXPERIENCE GIVEN TO HOPEFULLY HELP so many of you out there that are losing your birds, heart-broken and frustrated because you felt like you didn't have anything that would work against eye issues. Apologies that this is lengthy but understanding it and doing...

Ok so giving him 5mg or 1/4 of a 22.7 tab every 12 hours is in the "safe zone" and not a high dosage apparently, right? The vet really freaked me out with the 5mg once a day thing... don't think he knew what he was doing and most don't when it comes to chickens really..... unfortunately...

I asked doctor - he said that was recommended - I think he was looking at the BIRD dosage and NOT the poultry dosage for Enrofloxacin (Baytril). So I have the 22.7 mg pills - I have been giving him 1/4 (5mg+-) pill every 24 hours (1xday) and he is not getting better OR worse, just same...

Walter is a 2.6 bantam cornish - we think he had/has Coryza. Swollen side of face, yellow mucus in nose (smells a bit) eye swollen shut, etc. Vet put him on Baytril injections .3 of the 2.7% solutions for 5-7 days. He was also on Metronidazole for 10 days because we could also see cankers in...

I don't think so - sometimes they correct themselves - you need to make sure it doesn't get too far out and even if it does it's easy to fix -- I've fixed over 10 throughout the years with my flocks.

I have a sick goose and need to tube/crop feed it - how many cc do you normally feed and how often (intervals) do you feed a goose? I have saved thousands of chickens, but first time working on a goose.... anyone??????

The vet I spoke with yesterday said to treat goose like I would my chicken, same dosage because Bill is about 5lbs. I feel like treating with the Corid would be best - can you dose it with Baytril at the same time? I'm going to feed this morning as soon as I get some suggestions or input...

2 days ago it got real hot real fast here and Bill may have gotten overheated - not going into details but when we went to put everyone up she was on pond, in water up to neck under tree and would not move. Drinking a lot of water. So next day I put Bill in tub of cool water, she kept drinking...
