Quote: Confuscious says "Better to be a fool than a dead turkey". Glad the turkey is feeling better. x2! I'm sorry I missed this yesterday, that's great news!

How is your turkey doing? Any improvement?

Quote: Honestly, I may not be the best person to ask about that... I dosed once then waited two days to see how they were doing. If the swelling was gone at that point, I didn't even do a second dose. And I never had one that still had swelling after two days, so I only did a single shot...

I would drain them first, but I don't think most people do that so it's up to you... Personally, I feel that if you get the gunk out, it's one less thing they have to deal with. I inject right into the sinus, a lot of folks inject under the skin at the base of the neck. Just please don't...

Quote: And soon the Guiness Book of World Records will show that kuntrygirl has the worlds largest collection of turkey snot... for some reason I don't think you would have competition. Actually, it doesn't bother me to look at that stuff, good thing because pulling it out of the turkey...

Quote: Now that's a pic I REALLY would like to see. If I ever have to do one again, I'll just mail you the snot If it's legal to mail snot? I know scabs are illegal to mail, hmmm... Somebody call USPS and ask if it would be legal for everybody to mail turkey bugers to kuntrygirl!

Quote: I'm happy to hear that it hadn't solidified. And I would think that getting the pressure off, even temporarily. has to be a relief for the turkey. I am always amazed at how still they stay when I do that, even flighty birds. I like to think that they know we are trying to help but I...

I have done it with 18g, yes. I sit on the floor and hold the bird between my knees (I have done this three times in 10 years) I hold the head in one hand and insert the needle into the swollen area, Amazingly enough, once the needle was in they held very still (probably afraid to move or it...

You can use the 200, just use 1/4 the dose.

Keep a close eye on it, if it solidifies it will need to be cut out (there is an excellent post on that by Yoda over in the peafowl section). I hope he gets better soon!

Quote: Is it a sexually transmitted disease? If I can't use him for breeding, can I eat him? This whole turkey thing is getting to be too complicated. My plan was to keep a few breeding pairs, but they're proving to be too much of a hassle. If it's a virus, it can be passed through the...

Good luck! I have never heard of tetracycline actually working on sinus problems, maybe you'll be the first!

It's likely caused by a virus, and the birds will remain carriers. I treated with Tylan 50, others say you need the 200. Please do not inject into the muscle, it can cause permanent muscle damage. I injected right into the sinus, someone in the peafowl section said that's dangerous. I think...
