I thought that would be the right choice as well. So what are your thoughts on administration? Just crush a tablet up and put it in the water? What are the dangers of overdosing?
Hello feathered friends!
So I have a bird with Coryza. And I have a handful of drugs and things because I have a lot of animals. So help me figure out what would be best to treat her with. I’m gonna post pictures of said drugs
These are enormous tablets given to me for one of my horses. But...
I have never seen this before on my peacock.
He’s 8 yrs old, no signs of illness. Growing back his train well, has a peahen with him. Is kept separate from the chickens.
He let me scratch at it, so not painful or bloody.
What do you think it is?

Yes I’m keeping her warm. I have a heater and I’ve got her enclosed in the bathroom and a cat carrier so that has helped a lot. I think that just being away from the other chicks and not having to fight for food or warmth has helped. She cheeping this afternoon

You’re right we all do get busy with our birds. But I had a lovely conversation with a woman at our local Tractor Supply. She had just gotten into chickens and asked me a question and before I knew it, we’d been standing there almost an hour. I just love answering questions and helping people...
Thank you all so much. I’ve dosed with Safeguard and he seems to be doing much better. His appetite has picked up and he seems perkier. Thanks for all your input.
Thank you. Since they seem to be eating little I think I’ll try safeguard straight into the mouth.
I don’t know they’ll get the proper amount if put in a mash.
