    Fecal testing

    I just wanted to give an update Rocky is totally back to normal and will not shut up. EVER! That duck is just a quacking machine. She is going through a hard molt and looks so bad. She has also grain weight and it up to 3 lbs 5 oz as of a few days ago. I'll keep weighing her for the next...

    One more a 4lb 5oz bird would be .99mL so 1mL?

    Fecal testing

    Great! Thank you. This one was a little easier for me since 12 oz is 75% of 1lb. 2.75 (weight of bird) x 0.23 (dose per lb) = 0.6325 (mL per dose)

    Fecal testing

    @casportpony double check my math please 2lb 12oz would be .63mL (and some change) and since it is in .02 increments I'm going to round up to .64mL. To give this dose does it need to in the tube feed or is there a way to put it down their throat?

    Fecal testing

    Great! Also if anyone didn't know you can go to any pharmacy and get syringes. Some may charge but usuall Walgreens and CVS will just give them to you. That is where I just picked up one that is .02 increments and only holds a max of 1mL.

    Fecal testing

    Rocky is quacking now and hasn't lost any more weight. She is staying steady at 2lbs 12oz for the last 3 mornings before she eats or drinks. I have the goat version of safe guard and need to know the dosage for her and Skye. Or the mL/lb and I can figure out the rest off of body weight...

    Fecal testing

    Just an update. Rocky is feeling much better and has a horse quack now. That is an improvement over not quacking at all. She also ran from me tonight when I tried to catch her. We are up to 55mL of food and she is handling it very well. I'll give her a full 60mL tomorrow morning and won't...

    Fecal testing

    I got some pictures of the feeding and worming today. My 4 year old took the pics and I think he did pretty well. First up is Rocky my cayuga whom I'm the most worried about. The 35mL of Kaytee Exact bird food mixed at 1 part food to 2 parts (plus a little more) water. Also mixed in is the...

    Fecal testing

    Update on weight 2lbs 12oz so she hasn't lost anymore since yesterday. She also just got 35mL of food through the tube. She is playing in her water bowl right now and seems much happier today.

    Fecal testing

    That is something worth looking into. I wouldn't be suprised if one species gets it more than the other. Skye started coughing all of a sudden in addition to her panting that she has been doing. The cought and head shake came out of no where an once she started she didn't really stop...

    Fecal testing

    Oh yes it did! I tubed it down her so I know she got all of it and made sure there was nothing left over in the tube. I think I did it so quickly she didn't know what just happened. They are all tucked in now and we will have to see what tomorrow brings. Thank you aging for you help! Thank...

    Fecal testing

    Thank you. I went ahead and just bought the safeguard for goats and it will be here for sure on Friday. So I can start everyone but as I am leaving on Tue they won't all get done. I'm for sure going to do these 2 now with what I have. For a 5lb bird would 1/2 gram be correct? When I get the...

    Fecal testing

    Thank you so much for the support. I now have another problem. My hubby is thinking that Skye has gape worms since she is panting and now has developed a cough. At this point I know something is wrong with my flock and want to act ASAP. Should I also give a dose of the safe guard I have...

    Fecal testing

    I have done two small tube feeding and it's already night and day with Rocky. She was going nuts of the peas I just gave out and was even eating dinner when I put it down. She is walking all over trying to quack and it's just a hose whisper but she is much more active and very interested in food.

    Fecal testing

    That's what I am hoping. I would imagine egg production would be one of the first things to stop under stress and she is obviously under a lot of stress with the weight loss alone. I really hope it is worms since that would something I can fix. But I'm trying not to get ahead of myself...

    After help from wonderful @casportpony she has been tube feed some water and I will do an actual feeding later today with safe guard. She isn't too happy with me right now and is giving me the stank eye.

    Thank you. I feel like dropped the ball on this for not putting it all together. No, I don't have charcoal or anything else for that matter. But come morning I will. I'll let y'all know how it goes with the tube feeding.
