NYREDS, My guess is that you live in NY. Where? Upstate? Long Island? I ask because if you live on LI you get some hot and humid summers and I would think Blackhead would be a problem as well. Living upstate then your hot weather would be short term. Since our weather here is getting colder does...

Thanks Ivan3. I did save the book. It will definitely come in handy. The wanderer is still out there. I was hoping she would show up but I don't have much hope at this point. Amazon.com is definitely a better bet. I will order some from them since they don't ask for a prescription but in a...

Quote: Sorry, I tend to use chemical names. Yes, Emtryl (I've got the tabs, not the powder). I'd be very suspicious of any Emtryl pigeon powder (probably someone buying Metronidazole cheap and repackaging). Dimetridazole was THE drug of choice for treating `enterohepatitis' (blackhead) in...

Ksane, thank you for the dosage. That will come in very handy. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. Petsmart had something called "General Cure" in the fish section. It had 250 mg metronidazole but it also had another ingredient which I didn't know what it was. I've tried looking up...

Ksane, you can find lime at Home Depot or Lowes. I know there are 2 different kinds of lime. One where it can be used with animals around and I believe that is a white powder. There is another lime which I think is time released. I don't think that is the one you want. Feed stores will have it...

Quote: Do you use hors wormer??? or do you get this differently and how to you feed it to your birds? Sounds good to me as well.

Quote: I did put some food quailty DE down yesterday because I have it and figured it wouldn't hurt. LIme is a good idea. I do have a couple of horses that get wormed regularly so I bet that helps. I have been looking for Valbazen here and no one carries it. Although, someone else apparently...

Thank you for all the wonderful information and taking the time to explain it so well. This is great. I do live in a humid climate so that is definitely a strike against me there. The only place I have earth worms are in my compost pile. Can my compost pile be treated to kill anything that will...

I gave my young turkey the medicine this morning. We've got good poop! She looks good but still keeping a low profile. I'm hoping she will continue to improve. Are turkeys and guineas a problem? My turkey hen convinced the guineas she is the Momma and the tom is the Poppa. I can't explain...

Quote: I don't believe you will have any problems with that.

Quote: Mine free range with the chickens. I don't have any of my chickens, ducks geese, turkeys, guineas penned up other then at night. Turkeys and guineas do not get penned at all. The turkeys really don't hang out with the chickens.

Quote: Ivan3, thank you so much. I have the turkey sitting on my lap as I read this. She thanks you. I'm going to go with 1/4 tab since she is under 5 lbs and the fact that it's 250 mg.

Quote: Thanks, I have given her cayenne pepper and plan on giving her more. I put some in scrambled eggs which she did eat some of them. I will put it in water tomorrow and give it to her as well. I hope someone can give me measurements for the medication and in US terms rather then metric.

I've been reading about blackhead in turkeys. I have a 3 month old that needs medication. I have 2 tablets of 250 mg metronidazle. Could you please tell me how much I need to give my turkey? I've read about adult birds but I can't find anything about 3 month old turkey and the dosage. I want to...
