    We're giving our gander a tablet medication. Although he didn't like it or had even spit out the tablet, the past few times still succeeded eventually. The most recent one, however, seemed different. When he spit the tablet out, there's something regurgitated as well. Is this normal? If not...

    Need antibiotic ASAP.

    my chickens and ducks were attacked by a fox. Many died. One duck survived but needed staples. Dr says she needs tetracycline. I can’t find a place that carries that. This is compounded by the fact places are closing due to the hurricane. What else can I use? PLEASE HELP!!
