I have also started the wormer paste straight away. All other hens seem fine but have added vitamin to water before dusting tomorrow.

Just an update. I used the metacam for the hen that got trodden on by the horse and she is improving so well, starting to put weight on it now more often. As for the girl with the curled toes, her owner (I'm a minder) dispatched her, there was sadly no Improvement. However complete panic now as...

Thank you very much for all your information! It is much appreciated! :-)

Ok super thanks a million. I'll not be back with her until tomorrow afternoon unfortunately as I am at the other side of the island but will leave a msg for you. Many kind regards!

Just wondering how ill measure the paste out for her as it has no measurements other than the ring graduation and that's per 2.5kg rabbit

My guess is between 2.5kg and 3kg

I honestly don't know yet, going to weigh her in the morning. She's quite plump!

To be honest I haven't a clue where Ive got all this medicine from that I've "acquired" lol I used to work at a vets but never dealt with chickens

Ok super will give it a go. I haven't a clue how this syringe works with the rings on it. Just noticed It says each graduation per 2.5kg body weight (20mg/kg) for 9 days! Argh so confused! That works out much less than a chicken doesn't it? I am horrendous with math! Also can I administer...

Yes in the UK - Northern Ireland

At my local store online it says - Verm x herbal pellets for internal parasite control - reckon that would be good enough? :/ sorry for all the questions. I so appreciate your help! Just giving the wee thing it's best chance otherwise the lady just wants to x_x

I can buy this in a local store. Ever heard of it? http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/internal-parasite-control-pellets-for-chickens-250gm

I can have a look in the store tomorrow and see if there is any panacur for poultry there. There's not much selection though. This says wormer for rabbits - 18.75% oral paste. It's a pre filled syringe that says each 5g syringe contains 0.94g fenbendazole. Unfortunately there isn't a dosage...

No I don't think she's been wormed. I have some panacur paste here but it says panacur for rabbits? not sure it that would do her. She is eating and drinking superb at the moment. I haven't tube fed before no, but could probably try - I don't really have the equipment though and want to avoid...

That's super. I have baytril oral solution here too but I want to hold off on it as I know in other animals it can be harsh on the stomach and it's more important I keep her hydrated and no more diarrhoea. I don't hold out much hope though, her toes are curled but she does have feeling in her...

Thank you so much for replying! I have "Meloxidyl 1.5mg/ml" it says for dogs and I have Metacam 0.5mg/ml for cats. I think I'll go with the 0.5mg one for cats. I'm not sure if it's different between dogs and cats ingredients wise or if it's just the mg ratio!

Bump

Hi Does anyone know which metacam a vet prescribes for hens? The one for dogs or the one for cats? Also possible dosage? I I am not sure which one to use for them or the dosage per kg. I know usual forum rules are that you can't give out that sort of advice, but if someone could even hint...
