I was also looking for a drench dose and got 3mg/lb from another post on here, apparently that was the amount given from a vet. I dissolved into 1mL (which is an arbitrary amount) only because it was a small volume that was easy for me to syringe into her. It was easy to dissolve so there is...
Oh yes sorry if this was unclear! Definitely use the dose on the package if they are drinking freely or if you have a group you are treating @Pandang81 . The singular pullet I was treating was not drinking on her own. I had seen a post with vet guidance to give 3mg/lb per day so I adjusted to...
Update: she has gotten considerably weaker over the past 24 hrs, but is still bright eyed and alert. I have been tube feeding, but she is still eating jam and drinking on her own. The decline has mostly been related to use of her legs. I have never seen her lay down - even while sleeping she...
I will look into that! I have seen posts on here about it but never done it myself because I’m not super familiar with fermenting things and was afraid I might make them sick if not done correctly. But at this point will try anything! Thanks
Thank you for your response - I am trying so hard to get her better. She has remained very alert at all stages of whatever is going on so I don’t want to give up on getting her to improve.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could throw out some ideas on how to best treat one of my birds. Backstory: got her in April at 4-5 months old. She came with three others, the others extremely healthy and energetic. This one did not seem sick per se, but has always been less active, not super...
This may be old news for folks outside the US, but within the US our most common treatment of coccidiosis is corid (amprolium). I recently introduced several new chickens to my flock all on Medicated feed, one came down with coccidiosis. Put her on corid as well as a prescription sulfa...
Thank you for your response! I did what you suggested and started her on corid and then treated her with the fish mox when it arrived. After a few days the fish mox got rid of the unique smell, so I thought it was helping, but even after the full treatment the consistency and color did not...
Help! I have a flock of 9 silkies. I bought one last week, she has been quarantined by herself with no exposure to the other birds. Day 1 I noticed she didn’t have much appetite and was very thirsty, but I thought it was just adjusting to a new situation. I noticed her runny and green poops...
