Amoxicillin should work! read through the past thread for advice and dosage. Galads never had any gunk or anything present itself but I think I nipped the ear infection in the bud before it got that bad. Has your bantam got ear gunk?
I have 2 x EE Roos (5 monthsold)who are brothers from a hatch! (Just waiting on an EE pullet) They are separated from my 8 ladies (layers) but free range during the day together roaming the acreage. They are very vocal and like to out crow each other. There is a dominant one and they do have...
Day 4 of antibiotics - 50mg mix of ciprofloxacin crushed to a fine powder. Added teaspoons of water and administered through a plunger syringe in morning. Lump / swelling has significantly decreased. The lump is no longer hot to touch. Galads is in good spirits. Eating & drinking as normal.
So I've given Galads her 1st dose of antibiotics as directed. She didn't want it hidden in the food - she preferred drinking it from a syringe! She never ceases to surprise me :) last night she let a funky egg drop out her bum whilst walking. Thin shelled. I've put it down to still trying to...
Thanks KayTee I'll will give it a whirl in the morning on the antibiotics! Thankyou so much everyone :) I checked her again today and it doesn't seem to be getting bigger. I had no success with the grapefruit seed extract our local health food shop doesn't stock it and won't order until new...
Hi Kaytee
I have been applying the peroxide/water solution and today the lump doesn't seem to be getting larger. No gunk has presented itself. I did call the local vet and they thought it was strange that there was no gunk. They thought may be an insect bite or something and they told me to...
Hi I'm just in Strathdickie - south of Bowen near Proserpine & Airlie Beach. On our local FB pages there has been post about Muscovy's - I don't know if their giants tho :)
Day 2 I have checked her ear. Trimmed down feathers for better vision but there seems to be no gunk or anything presenting itself! The lump is getting bigger and it's still warm? Do I need to squeeze or push the gunk up towards the ear? Have put massaged the lump and put a bit of vinegar water...
Hi everyone! This is Galadriel - she has just started laying. We have just had a few days of hot hot weather and it followed with a couple of days of heavy rain. This lump has come up over night! It's hot to touch. She is eating and drinking normally at the moment and very active. It doesn't...
Apologies for late reply. Yes she is looking like a pullet. I was very lucky to find another EE breeder through a friend who told me EE are hardest breed to sex and easier at 12 weeks. This one is looking like a pullet but the other one is looking like a roo. The comb is going a distinguished...
Hi everyone, I hatched 3 Easter Eggers 8 weeks ago. One which we thought was a roo passed away. Left me with just 2 which we thought were girls. I only have pic of one of one at moment. We thought they were girls but one started to attempt to crow thid morning. I've done my research on the...
We live in high sugar cane growth area, vet said rats very common. We are blessed with a pet mini fox terrier who is a natural ratter, so at dusk when we put the girls to bed the dog will have sniff. My husband is a certified pest controller / eradicator so he has implemented a baiting & trap...
.Hi there, I'm new to this so I hope it helps. 2 nights ago my little munchkin shes about 9 weeks old was attacked by a rat. My mini fox terrier alerted us to the situation and chased it off but my hubby retrieved her. She was bleeding from the ear area and under the neck area as the ***&^%$ rat...
