    Ok great! I will use the hibicleans tomorrow night. I just went and checked on him and he's doing fine so far. He came off the roost to figure out if I was friend or foe. I'm a foe right now lol

    Oh geez! I hope not. This tea tree spray is for poultry. But who knows. The way things are labeled these days... I'm going to go check on him and see how he's doing. I'll pick up some betadine tomorrow. When you say weak betadine, how much betadine and how much water? My mom has some hibiclens...

    Last night I did an Epsom salt compress for a few minutes and then triple antibiotic ointment. Today I went to tractor and bought some stuff. I'm out of iodine and need to get more. That's on my to do list tomorrow. Tonight he got a "spa" treatment. He's very flighty and extremely strong so...

    Thankfully, as much as I'm against arial sprays for mosquitos, they did just do that because the mosquitos were so bad after Harvey. We haven't seen a flying bug (bees included, sadly enough) for the last week and a half. It had to be done because the mosquitos were carrying us away! That...

    I know! I feel terrible for him and I wish I would have seen it yesterday instead of today. This is why I don't like being out of town. I always come home to surprises... The odd thing is he doesn't act like it's bothering him at all. I squeezed on it a little and he didn't even flinch. He's one...

    My aunt just took a look at it and is thinking brown recluse or copperhead bite since it's necrotic. She's got a mini "farm" and is also an RN so she was able to tell me a couple other things to try. I'm running to tractor supply in the morning. The good thing is she thinks his body seems to be...

    I'll see what I can do tonight when they go to roost. Unfortunately, a vet isn't an option. I'm an hour away from the nearest one that'll see chickens and they're too expensive. I handle treatment myself or put them down when I need to, although I cry everytime I have to do it. Thank you for...

    He's a young rooster so I didn't really think about it being a tumor (even though age doesn't always matter). I was really thinking more like a bite or wound that became infected because he definitely didn't have this before I left to go out of town. I didn't see any maggots or anything moving...

    i was out of town for a week and came back a couple days ago. I noticed some of the chickens were molting around their necks. It's a little early for this area, but didn't feel too concerned because we just went through Harvey and the coop was flooded for a couple days. I thought stress brought...

    They seemed to help a little. After a week of shots, I stopped them and decided to let nature take its course. She got better on her own and then it happened again. She passed away last week. I'm sorry I didn't respond. I didn't get a notification through email like I normally do. How's your duck?

    I know one of the doses I have seen from @casportpony was a higher dose but for less days. I don't understand the conversion rates all that well and terrified I'll give too much.

    Update... I think the swelling has gone down a little but there's still a big knot. The redness and heat is gone and she is no longer walking with a limp at all. She's been getting .8ml of penicillin every day since Tuesday so she has had 6 doses so far. Some things I have read say .5 ml for a...

    It took three pokes to get it in because the needle kept clogging. I went into her thigh because I couldn't figure out exactly where in the breast and I didn't want to puncture her bump with the needle. I "chickened" out on it. I guess we will play the waiting game and hopefully start seeing...

    Ok I think that's the dura pen. I just can't think straight right now and don't trust myself to make decisions lol

    One last question. I'm on my way and saw that they have durvet Pen G procaine 30000 and they have durvet dura pen. I saw some things (while researching) and in what @casportpony posted about long acting and short acting and I want the short acting. Do either of you know which one of those...

    Thank you both so much! I did a little research and it looks like injectable antibiotics are still allowed OTC so I'm going to run by Tractor after my son's trumpet lesson and pick some up. My only other question (after some research) is should I inject into her bump or intramuscular? I've seen...

    It says it's Penn G procaine. Procaine is bad for birds, right? I can't find another penicillin injectable without it. Am I missing it? Ugh!

    I'm going to see if tractor sells this over the counter still, but is this the Penn G I should be looking for? If so, what dosage do I inject her "bump" with?
