    Oxytetracycline dose (tbsp / tsp)

    Qquestion about the oxytetravet dosage. I have a 100mg bag. That's the weight anyway. Would the dosage be the same at 2tbsp per gallon? It just seems like sooo much and I don't want to overdose them. But I want to make sure they get enough and not just build up an antibiotic resistance or...

    Lash egg or Tumor?

    OK that's what I was assuming as well. Just never came across one with a hard-ish black clump in one until now so wanted to make sure. Thank you for the help!

    Lash egg or Tumor?

    Hey everyone, Yet another chicken dilemma. I just happened to come across one of my red sex link hens looking like she had to poo, so just to see how she's doing, I decided to watch and see what her situation was. I didn't think she was sick or anything but she was just trying to lay an egg and...

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    The vet thinks it's cancer, not canker. They offered to do more tests but wanted $1000. Which is absolutely insane to me. I will definitely look into it, because I'm curious myself. I feel like if it is canker, her coop mates would be showing signs by this point since it's contagious through...

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    So, bit of an update, albeit not one I'd like to be making. We took her to the vet the same day I posted this thread. They weren't sure what the issue was but gave us an antifungal med and some meloxicam for pain. Also removed the stuff in her mouth and sent her home bleeding. Definitely not...

    My bad, the entire bottle has 160g of the metronidazole.

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    Well I now have a functioning scale. The bottle comes with a scoop and that scoop is equal to 160g.

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    It's not nearly touchy enough unfortunately. I've been meaning to go buy a better one for awhile now, I just haven't gotten around to it. I'm going to pick one up in an hour or two.

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    OK thank you, I can see if the packaging tells me anything more. I did come across those sites, I wasn't sure if that was my only option or not. I was hoping to get it sooner without having to pay $50 dollars in shipping lol. But it is what it is. I appreciate the help and maybe she will be able...

    5 year old female runner duck sick

    I don't know if it's luck or just my obsessive Googling and using this site, but I'm almost always able to diagnose my animals. Almost always able to figure out the treatment. I start struggling when it comes to actually getting ahold of some of the meds and then figuring out the dosages. Having...

    Canker and Seachem Metroplex 70% Metronidazole

    Hi again, Yet another new chicken ailment I am coming across. I have a hen who is showing signs of canker. Horrible smell, yellowish gunk in left corner of mouth, hungry but struggling to eat, still drinks but starting to have an issue. It's been about 4 days now. I can't get into a vet...

    5 year old female runner duck sick

    Thank you so much. She seems fine now. I gave her corid and let her bathe in Epsom salt twice a day for like 3 days. One day I let her out by her family because she just wanted out so bad and she seemed a little better, didn't want back in so I decided to give her the night out there and she...
