We are discussing Mazuri waterfowl feed prices in a thread in the duck forum, so I thought I would put this more specific thread in the goose forum. The prices of the Mazuri feed recently outrageously shot up at chewys.com. The 50# Maintenance went up over $15, and the 25# Starter at least...
Does anyone feed the Mazuri Gamebird feeds--starter or breeder or maintenance--to ducks and geese? It looks similar to the waterfowl feed, both in appearance and nutritional info. The protein amounts aren't exactly right, but that's not an issue with the birds I feed. The Mazuri waterfowl...
I have an elderly cat whose days are numbered. He eats some on his own, but I have also been handfeeding . . . or trying to handfeed . . . him meals. He loves Nutri-Cal for Cats, so I can mix that into anything I put in a small blender. Anyone have any formulas that worked well for you? He...

Capstar is sold to kill fleas on dogs and cats, but it also works on rabbits, ferrets, wildlife, etc. Plus, it kills maggots, and I seem to remember a thread somewhere where someone used it successfully to kill the maggots on a goose, by giving her part of a tablet and dissolving the rest in...

How much amoxicillin (Fish Aid Antibiotics 250 mg) for a 15-20 pound pet goose? Is there any way to divide up a capsule to get close to how much needed? I mix with water and put in a syringe.
