    Dosage for Tetroxy HCA - 1400

    For anyone wondering as I was: I contacted our State Veterinarian and he confirmed my math for the dosage of a 2 lb bantam at 800 mg per day to be 1/8 tsp for the daily dosage or 1/16 teaspoon twice daily (which I am doing because the potency of this medication once water activated is short)...

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    Thank you :) I've read that if it is the dreaded "M" it is possible but not probable to nurse them thru it and them survive. I keep praying that will be case with her. My little Cochin didn't have any of these issues she has had. A local breeder recommended I mix scratch in with my feed and to...

    Do you happen to know what it means when a hens feet and legs are yellow? Some are white and some are yellow. They are all Rhode Island’s.

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    He had a leg issue and that was just my thought since it dealt with the leg. He didn’t come from the cleanest home that I saw when I rehomed him. I know I should have had him necropsied I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    Yes! I recently lost my little blue Cochin bantam. He was literally mine. Followed me everywhere, had to be where he could touch me and would only respond to my voice. I cried like a baby when he passed. He had what we believe to be Maresk or however you spell it. I just couldn’t send him for...

    That is my exact thought. I gave it undiluted for 3 days as I’d read to do and then in the water with every other bird.

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    She isn’t in a coop at the moment. She is in here own cage or area. I don’t like my special needs peeps to be picked own. She has been indoors until about two days ago when I let her stay outside all night in her cordoned area. To be safe but back in the presence of the other birds. With the eye...

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    I didn’t mean to come across bitter. Sorry. :( That is literally what my vet friend and I thought. Better to try than not. Yes she seems to be my new bestie these days. Wants sit on me if at possible. It was the saddest think when she wasn’t even moving. Hand bathing keeping her butt clean. Im...

    The eye is swollen so it led us to believe it was an infection of some kind. And when you are battling death anything is worth a try.

    Rehabbing Hen -New issue. Need advice please

    It is now green and white but very runny at times. We are for free of blood now so corid worked! Tylan was recommended by a vet friend of mine since off label Baytril is not allowed anymore. Technically off label tylan isn’t either but that is easier to obtain over the counter still. I didn’t...
