All the birds except Jasmine can get the Corid preventative treatment. The 9.6% liquid is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days. The 20% powder sticker is correct for dosage if you choose to use that instead of the 9.6% liquid. The duration is incorrect though. Whether it is preventative or...

The bird named Jasmine, give 1 canker tab, once a day for four days since you already did one. Then give vitamins-electrolytes, and Probios powder in the water for 2-3 days. Keep an eye on the bird's droppings since it represents digestion, and tell us how the bird is behaving during that time...

How are your chickens doing?

Originally Posted by casportpony My issue is that there website says to use it for one day and it should be five days. If you don't believe, me call a vet school and ask them. Also, write them back and ask them how much you should give a 1 pound chicken, a 40 pound turkey and a 1/4 pound...

Does that manual specify chickens or birds in general? I've used 250mg for an adult Wyandotte hen which weighed 6 lbs. No problems with that dose and the blackhead symptoms were gone.Those Euro metric weights are annoying. 1 kg = 2.2 lbs to any Americans confused on that. Kathy, you are...

Kathy mentioned in the last post why I mentioned treatment for Blackhead aka Histomaniasis. That is just in case. Cecal worms are quite common and are hard to see. If cecal worms carry the protozoa which causes Blackhead, worming will take care of the worms, but not the protozoa introduced to...

Do you plan on treating the bird for Blackhead (histomaniasis) between worming? Dosage for Metronidazole (Flagyl, Fish-Zole, etc.) is 250 mg once a day for 5 days. If the bird is under 5 lbs, use 125mg. If that isn't successful, I'd wait a few days while giving the bird vitamins-electrolytes...

You are incorrect. Earthworms have everything to do with intestinal worms since they are common vectors of Ascaridia galli (roundworms) and Heterakis gallinarum (cecal worms) which are known to spread Histomaniasis aka Blackhead disease. Let's not forget capillary worms (small roundworms that...

I know you are right in the instances you mentioned. I question whether or not the diseases mentioned are actually the case, or perpetual symptoms from using the wrong medication/antibiotic. The bird seems to have been with the rest of the members of the flock, yet this is the only one showing...

There are numerous diseases, dietary conditions that can cause watery droppings. First, I need to know what medications, if any, you've used to remedy this. Second, how old is the hen? Third, how long is a "long time" in regard to the diarrhea? Fourth, describe what their living...
