A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Was she over at BC's drinking with chickens yesterday?

Not that I know of, but you know how turkeys are?

I have an almost 4 month old poult that is acting drunk.

She stumbles backwards and to the side when walking. Sways when standing.

Her neck looks slightly off center ( if that makes sense) not her crop but the neck has funny angle.

She is not overly thin, but is slightly under where I expected her when I felt her breast and legs.


Any ideas what it could be?

Considering where you live and how wet it has been you may want to immediately start treating her for botulism.

I will try to get epsom salt into them. I think that’s the best I can do. I see no moldy feed but it could be.


Thanks

Alright we made it through with Annabelle. We could feel the egg still even when we were sedating her. As soon as the surgeon reached inside to gauge the situation, the egg crumbled! It was still in the oviduct so we couldn't retrieve the pieces, but the egg was definitely gross by now so we flushed her out with lactated ringer solution since it was handy. We went through half a bag until the liquid coming back out started running clear. Since we couldn't retrieve any shell, we can only hope that she can reabsorb it safely.

Did they say how much starting fluid we can use for our at home DIY surgeries?

We gassed her , based sedation ratio off of her 12.8 lb weight. We've found excede works fine on poultry and it's a one time dose, and she ain't edible right now with that reproductive trauma going on.

Excede is an antibiotic
