    Duck Amoxicillin dose?

    How much of this should I give to a duck and how often? And how should I give it to her. I’ve been treating a duck’s wounds for over a month, I’ve taken it to the vet twice.

    Goose eye red and swollen. Was fine an hour ago.

    Hello, I came to check on my geese, I do it every hour when they are outside. It was fine last time I was out. I think it was a bug bite and the gosling scratched his eye and irritated it. What should I use for treatment? Should I cover his toenails to prevent further damage? Thanks in advanced.

    The Chicken Keepers Health Armoury.

    There are various threads on what you should have as essential items to care for your flock. This list is what I've found essential. The bulk of these items are from European sources but with the pictures many should be quite clear as to what they are and what they are for. Fenbendazole wormer...
