I'm not sure about the oxytetracycline. I suppose it depends on the brand.

7 lbs is about 3 kilos. He needs 10% of that daily. So that is 11.2 oz.

Look up on Internet metric conversion if you need it.

That 10% should be split into a min of 2 feedings.

casportpony is our go to person with information on tubing and dosages of antibiotics.

You are doing a great job, take a deep breath and pat yourself on the back!

Mrs. B,
There isn't an odor I can discern, but it is rather nasty in the tub right now.

Learning curve going on here. I noticed a hen on the perch when I went to feed this morning so I caught her and sure enough, she blew a little snot bubble for me. So, the whole pen I likely sick or about to be sick. I put an antibiotic powder in their water yesterday. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

 

[MrsBrooke]

I'd take someone in for a blood test to determine if you have CRD or Infectious Bronchitis in your flock, so we know how to move forward.

Antibiotics and snot bubbles go well together. I'm a fan of TerraVet 10 oxytetracycline powder.

I should have gotten blood drawn yesterday as now everyone has drank the water with antibiotics in it. The rooster started blowing bubbles once he was rehydrated. Everyone has been graet at helping and no one has shut me down or censored me, amazing!

 

[ryanhodapp]

BYC'ers are the best. If someone "shut you down", I would be shocked.

@casportpony

if you still have doseage help, CASportpony can help. She is a wealth of knowledge.

If you took bird to vet yesterday, call them back.

keep up the good work!

 

[goats2chickens]

Thank you Ryanhodapp.
I went ahead with the same as yesterday. I did PM casportpony but haven't received a reply yet.
You are right about BYC being the best with the mostest! Blessing on all of them!

Mrs. B,
He does have a noxious odor about him although I don't know from where it originates. I smelled his head and it didn't seem stronger there so I suspect it is the droppings.
