Hi,
I have two chickens that have a tight lower abdomen, dirty vent, and puffed up and lethargic. They have also lost weight. I have had hens with water belly before and drained them and it is not that. It is not an egg bound situation either. I had previously done epsom salt soak for egg bound...
Ok I am terrible at figuring out dosing. I have a jar of powdered Meloxicam it says on the label
275mg/5cc scoop.
Does anyone have any idea how to figure out the dosage for my 10 pound duck? I do have a kitchen scale if I need to weigh something out. I am hoping to be able to sprinkle some on a...
Hi,
I am hoping someone has experience using adequan on poultry. I have a duck, a goose and a chicken that could all benefit from it I think. Does anyone know what dose I would use? I realize the amount will be based on weight so will be different for each but I would like the formula used to...
I have a hen that started acting a little off. She I was feeding her extra goodies and separated her. She would walk around a little and then just sit a lot in the garden. She was eating more and she eventually went back with other chickens. I noticed it was taking her longer to come in at night...
I took in two peking ducks, make and female so I am not sure how they were fed when younger. The female had an altercation with a goose and she was limping after that. I treated her with a variety of antibiotics incase she had a joint infection as well as pain meds. I took her to a bird vet who...
Can someone please help me figure out the dosing of the above Nystatin. I am horrible at math and this stuff! I want to make some up to treat for possible yeast in Roos mouth. We can use 5 pound weight for dosing math. Also can I make up some to last a few days or do I need to make it up...
My bantam roosters nostrils are blocked and his comb is very dark. I read on here about cleaning out the nostrils and doing it a little at a time so I am doing that. I sprayed/misted saline solution into his nostrils and got a little bit out but still working on it. I opened his mouth and saw...
My turkey hen choked last week while eating some scratch. Luckily we were nearby and blew in her mouth while choking and then we tipped her upside down and there was scratch and liquid coming out. I think possibly when we tipped her back up possibly some of the liquid went in her lung we are not...
Hi,

Hi,
My turkeys seem to have a respiratory problem as they are sneezing and are also lethargic. I have Tylan 200 on hand. They are 25lbs. Can someone help me calculate the dose and length of time that would be best to give them. Also is it best orally on bread or some food item? Thanks!
Hi,

We seem to keep getting mites! It is so frustrating! I am trying to figure out where they are coming from. My girls free range during the day and sleep inside a wooden painted coop at night with sand floor, shavings in nesting boxes. My last treatment was with Elector PSP and ivermectin pour on...
We have 6 adult Sebastopol geese, 4 females and 2 males. I have put colored zip ties on their legs to help me identify them. We just built two seperate coops for them for mating season and I will seperate 2girls with one boy and keep the same trio together. The problem is with their feathers...
my hen has sour crop. She had a big squishy smelly crop. I gave her Nystatin and then the next day the crop only felt like it had liquid in it. I pushed on it and tilted her forward and it all came out and crop was empty. But now it is the same. She is drinking water but it’s like it just stays...
My turkey hen is limping and her leg is shaking. This has happened in the past and I put her in the kennel and gave her metacam - maybe it’s called meloxin and she recovered. Well she did it again. I am out of metacam and ordered it online but it could take a while to get here. I wanted to see...
