I'm wondering how it worked out as I have a 12 year old muscovy boy who all of a sudden began acting exactly the same way as your girl tonight. All the same symptoms exactly.

The table I just found online says 50mg/ 2kg of body weight daily.

I really want to thank you for all your help. It really did seem to be over for a few weeks there, but sadly she is going downhill pretty rapidly now. I really appreciate you helping me to give my beloved ducky as much of a chance as I possibly could. Thank you.

Tomorrow my naughty little ducky buddy Goodegg is going for her last trip. She has been lame for years and recently has become very ill and the vet doesn't know what is wrong with her. She has begun to have fluid in her lungs which I have been draining every day, and I tried antibiotics but it...

Yes, sorry I would have updated sooner, but in the last few days we've also had a goat kidding and realized our dog has kidney failure. Goodegg (the muscovy in question) seems to be doing fine. I am still giving her a low dose of antibiotics, but very little. It seems like the fluid in her...

Thank you Amiga for that :) I have given her amoxycillin and some oregano oil this morning, I will give her another dose when she has dinner tonight. I am also mixing some pro biotic into her drinking water as she has no problem drinking it. I am keeping her in her plastic tub on the porch so...

Hi I have had a search through the threads and I can't find something specific, so I'm going to ask. I have an old muscovy duck, she is 14 and has been completely lame for 7 years, but until this pint has always maintained good health and a steady weight. Until last week when she stopped...

I just painted the castor oil on with an artist paintbrush, maybe just under an inch wide, it was nice and easy to get between their toes that way.

I have to say the castor oil worked brilliantly! My crazy fran was so much more comfortable allready the next day, she was almost back to her usual nutty self. The scales came off, new ones grew. I see a couple of areas where I will need to do another application, but I am amazed at how well it...

I have a hen with the same issue, she's pale and lethargic, drinking excessively but seems to be eating well. I can't seem to find any of the suggested wormer treatments over here though (New Zealand) so I have dosed her with aviverm, it's supposed to treat capillary worm which is what I...

My chickens have the scaly leg mites, thanks to the horrible situation where I bought them I didn't know but the new girls were riddled with every mite going! I am so horrified by that breeder :( Anyway before I undertake the night time harrassments of my flock, I am just wondering can the...

My apologies for taking so long to update this, to be honest I was very sad about it for awhile. And thank you to everyone who took the time to give advice, I am very grateful. Well I finally managed to track down an avian vet, and took my hoppy in. He took a sample of the fluid in her...

So yesterday afternoon when I checked her over and tried to get her to eat a little I found her abdomen was quite rigid. I gave her a warm soaking and massaged her abdomen in case it was egg bind, but she didn't pass anything. Today I have given her another soak but her abdomen feels like it's...

I have never had one of my male ducks get prolapse, but I have managed to treat it when my chicken got it. If you have caught it early enough you may be able to fix it. I would imagine you could find a tutorial for that on here or youtube? The most important thing is to keep it clean and...

Maybe you will have chickens you will be able to keep and cuddle later on when you have a place of your own:)
