    Chicken swallowed rubber feeding tube??

    Hi, I wanted to update on this. The chicken’s owner had been giving some mineral oil to the bird a few times a day since the tube was ingested. Several days afterward, the hen had a noticeably decreased appetite, but was still eating on her own, just less than normal. This morning… she passed...

    Chicken swallowed rubber feeding tube??

    Apologies, I had missed the earlier inquiry regarding why she was being tube-fed. A few weeks prior, she had had an impacted crop (caused by some ingested rocks, according to veterinary X-rays). She was fed a liquid diet while that was going on. Most recent X-rays indicate that the majority of...

    Chicken swallowed rubber feeding tube??

    Only about 1/3 of the length of the hose was used for the feeding tube. We haven't been able to feel it in the crop, we tried feeling it from the outside and by putting a finger into the crop (a vet did this). She was brought to 2 vets and both couldn't detect the tube in the crop.

    How can I find the medication mg strength, it says “1%”

    Hi, I’m treating a bird for aspergillosis, and one of the effective treatment options involves terbinafine cream administered orally (10-15mg/kg). I have terbinafine hydrochloride cream, but it just says 1%, I can find it’s strength measured in mg anywhere. Can someone help me learn how to...

    Is this a red worm in the poop?

    This is not from my flock, I’m asking on behalf of someone else. She recently treated her flock with ivermectin pour on, and a few days later this poop happened from one. She thinks it’s gapeworm, I’m not so sure on that, but it does look odd. I’m probably going to suggest she use a wormer on...

    Gram Staining in Ducks

    Thank you for posting this! I'm very interested in getting into doing my own gram stains for my flock; I've been learning my way with doing fecal floats already, but I'm going to be getting a more powerful microscope. Do you know if there's a source where we can order all of the additives needed...

    I have a pullet with vent gleet in conjunction with enteritis; I’ve seen boric acid suppositories sold to treat women’s yeast infections. I’m thinking of maybe trying it for my pullet? thoughts?

    Enteritis or upper intestine coccidia or..?

    *Bump* Sorry to be a bother; this pullet is still having ongoing issues, and she’s really really special to me (not that others aren’t..) but she’s been my lone house chicken for the past few months and we’ve gotten so so close. Also, none of my other poultry have been having this problem at...

    Enteritis or upper intestine coccidia or..?

    Did your bird(s) have the same type of consistently black, tarry, very foul odor droppings when they had clostridium enteritis? What was the dosage strength for the metronidazole?
