    Length of Safeguard liquid water treatment?

    She didn't mention not using it after the 1st liquid dose, it just wasn't indicated. Only for the paste! I've learned that her instructions are the same outlined on PoultryDVM...

    Length of Safeguard liquid water treatment?

    I heard about using a mash - it will provide the same benefits as administering individually?

    Length of Safeguard liquid water treatment?

    Hey all! Got instructions from my vet on how to administer Safeguard 10% liquid goat dewormer to my flock (3ml / 1 gallon of water). I cannot find consistent information anywhere on how long to treat the water for - 1 day? 3? 5? Also, I was not instructed to retreat with liquid wormer, only if...

    We do have mice around, so that's good to know. Water comes from the same source as our house water and is changed daily, so I'm not sure it would come in via that source, but mice could be a possibility...

    Mystery Illness

    I was under the impression that a true Salmonella infection in chickens wasn't common, as it's a bacteria present in the environment that's managed through good husbandry and proper hygiene... I'm not ruling it out for my hen, as she has always been generally un-thrifty and the season change...

    I'm hoping the vet did not bring it up because her lack of other symptoms and the overall health of the flock did not indicate a concern about a Salmonella infection versus completely overlooking it! Always an opportunity to learn, and I'll for sure be adding it to our fecal tests. Thanks so...

    I just updated my previous reply to include that the Sulfatrim should treat Salmonella if she has it, but you're absolutely correct! I will speak to my vet on Monday, and discuss testing the entire flock so that they can be treated if needed as well.

    Mystery Illness

    I just called my vet and it turns out that she was not - which on a side note is good to know considering I send out a fecal every 3 months and thought it was part of the results.

    Hey all! I'm at a loss for what to do about my hen - hoping someone out there has had the same experience and can offer some advice on prognosis or helping her recover... My 1.5 year old New Hampshire started with occasional loose stools for a few weeks, not of real concern. At the end of last...
