Thank you. I personally prefer oral dosages because I then know they are getting the proper amount of medication. Whereas knowing whether a semi free range hen is drinking the same amount as they always do is, at least for me, impossible to tell. As much time as I spend with my girls I wouldn't...
Ok that wording is a little vague. I understand they CAN have it in their water and given orally but should they? Is corrid meant to be given both of those way, at the same time or is that just an option and it is OK to give them JUST the oral dosage for several days?
Thanks so much for the...
Just to clarify chickens should get a double dose of medication? Orally and medicated water. If they are receiving .34 in water per pound and .1 orally per pound.
Thats: .34ml x 5lbs= 1.7 ml.
.1ml x 5lbs= .5ml
Combined they are then receiving per day 2.2ml of corrid.
And just...

I take my chickens to the local vet who swabbed their throat and looks at fecal samples. Fecal sample found
Hi. I didn't determine they have lungworm, a veterinarian did by examing fecal under a microscope.
I'm in Colorado.
Sue! I'm looking for someone like you. If you would please, answer a few questions?
1. How long have you had your flock. Meaning Meaning same birds, not just how long have you been keeping chickens.
2. Do they get parasites(lungworm, coccidiosis)?
3. Do you test for those?
4. If they do get...
Edit: if you've got a free range flock, over 2 years old,, with with same chickens.. please tell me if you have these issues and if not, what you do. While advice from people is great, it's not always helpful if advice comes from someone who has new chickens or doesn't free range.
I live in an...
Thank you again. Just a quick update. Had their poop tested and they have coccidiosis. I paid paid a cure and Jesus gave me a vet and now some medicine. Praise God

Thank you so much for the reply. Yes I I unfortunately there is no cure. However, the ascites is a symptom and in itself is not fatal unless untrained causing pressure on veins and organs.
I was hoping to find other options of what could be causing emaciated combined with healthy appetite and...
Whoa. Chill out. Don't force an animal to eat if you don't know what's wrong or what you are doing.

Thank you. Yes unfortunately I read several sites but still don't know the dosage using a needless syringe and nip spoon.
Thank you for the clarification on the different drugs. I would like to administer baytril but can't since I can't find the dosage.
Is Smz 454 the same as Bactrim?
Is smz 454 good for ascites or peritonitis?
Hen diagnosed with peritonitis but lays daily. She has ascites.
If 454 is good for ascites what is the dosing using a nip spoon and needless syringe? Do not want to isolate or dose entire flock.
Thank you
