Hello, just a general question. Treating a (non-contagious) sinus infection in a turkey with both Excede and Baytril (did a culture, Excede covers 2 of the isolates while Baytril covers the 3rd. We had a vet tech use the dosage recommendation on poultry dvm to give us a number on the excede...
Hello. I've been looking around but I'm bad at math and I can't find a set answer really.
I know Metacam can only be prescribed by a vet. I work at a canine/feline vet office and can get some temporarily.
I have a turkey hen who got injured today. I'm not exactly sure how, but I think it was a...
Hello. I have a turkey who, for mostly the whole year, has been sick with what is apparently E. Coli. Earlier this year her sister also had it, and we took them to the vet, treated them with Tylan, and her sister recovered. This hen did not. She has had a swollen sinus with pus and drainage from...
Currently have a turkey hen fighting some sort of respiratory illness (swollen hard sinus that i previously removed pus from, bubbly eyes, crackling and mouth full of mucus sometimes) and over the past few months i tried to treat her with tylan 200 (recommended by avian vet, it cleared her...
So just 3 or 4 months ago I found what appeared to be large roundworms in the stool of one of my turkeys who I was temporarily keeping indoors for an injury, and at the time I went ahead and dosed her and the entire flock with Valbazen at 0.08 ml per pound. It was really hard to weigh them (they...
Warning for some necropsy photos in the thread.
I had to have one of my 4 month old turkeys euthanized yesterday. I had been tube feeding her for 4 days and she didn't show any improvement, just maintained her low weight and continued to look awful. I had been giving her SMZ tablets from the...
Hello. The other day I took my turkey to the vet for lethargy and not eating. He said she was in perfect health with no parasites and that sometimes they just feel bad, and gave her a shot of b12 and a shot of sulfamed 40. The next day my turkey pooped a lot of intestinal liner + pebbles, and...
I really didn't want to post because I get embarrassed every time I jump the gun and post too soon on an issue, but I don't want to risk not acting fast enough and losing a life as a result.
These turkeys are 4 months old.
The past 4 days I had noticed one poop a day in their pen that had...
Hello! Going to start out saying me and my mom are completely awful at building and I have issues visualizing things just from text, so any visual examples from either pictures or drawings are a huge help!
We bought 6 10ft chain link kennel panels from a guy off facebook for 275. They are in...
We have a Brahma rooster, named Rooster, who is seemingly starting to lose sight. He was part of our first batch of poultry and around 5 or 6 years old. He is a beautiful and gentle rooster. Doesnt like attention much but tolerates it.
However, lately within this last year or so it seems like...
Hey yall. So, Im looking to see if there are any insect repellents for humans that are safe around poultry. I suffer from anxiety & depression and as a form of self therapy I like to hang out with my birds outside. I sit around near them and they will come up and interact with me, sometimes...
Hey again. Stuff just keeps happening and I'm not getting a break, lol.
Found some roundworms in my adult turkey's poop this morning. The first time I've ever seen a wormy poop in the 5 years of owning any birds, and I only have seen that one. I did a loop around the open ground of the yard...
Hello again! I hate having to post here, lol. I bought these 3 sweetgrass turkey poults from a breeder about a week ago, all about 6 weeks old, and ever since I brought them home they acted a bit tired. They weren't super lethargic, they were eating and drinking and having bursts of energy and...
We have 2 momma geese hatching out like 20 eggs right now, lol. So far I have 7 goslings hatched and one of them is stumping me. Im sure it will turn solid white but I swear its saddle looks more brown then the others. We had another lighter saddled baby hatch that looks greyer than this one...
This morning we discovered an egg in front of one of our mother geese that had been smashed. We grabbed it and brought it in. The gosling was still alive, but the egg shell was shattered and there was a hole in the membrane. No idea if she pecked through it herself or if something opened her...
Hi all. 2 of our geese have been sitting on eggs for about a month. They were sitting on probably about 30 because the other geese kept going in and laying more. We finally pulled all of them out and brought them in to candle so we could throw out the ones that werent developed. Turns out one of...
I have a week old turkey poult who I believe is blocked up. They aren't doing good. They've been crying a lot almost constantly for 2 days. I assumed it was because it was imprinted, and was just crying bc it missed me. I thought something might be wrong but I was afraid if I asked I'd just get...
Hey all. My mom told me she heard the geese hollering, and I looked out my window to see some of my turkey hens doing one of their recognizable "Hey something I dont like is here!" calls (lots of chirp yelps with loud pwips after) So I went outside to check how everyone was doing and I found my...
Hey everyone! I was hoping I wouldn't have to post this, but I'm getting kind of worried about our newest goose being depressed and lonely, so I figured I should see if there's anything else I could do.
A couple of months ago we found a Sebastapol goose at a poultry swap. We NEVER see them...
Hey everyone. So A couple weeks ago my Jake injured his toenail somehow, I found him with half of it just gone and a bit of the core exposed. I brought him in, stopped the bleeding, put some blue kote on it and put him back out. Well, it didnt help because for 2 weeks and still going he pecks...
