An antitoxin for what? Do you mean something like a vaccination against a particular disease or something like an antibiotic to treat a disease they've already contracted?

something they already contracted i have a sick chicken and believe she has botulism and need antitoxin to help cure

 

[A.T. Hagan]

If she already has symptoms of botulism poisoning the best you can do is treat her symptomatically. There isn't any cure for it.

Do a board search on 'botulism' and you'll find a number of threads.

Sorry about your birds.

There is something called Universal Animal Antidote Gel (UAA Gel). It is a charcoal gel that comes in a HUGE tube. For large animals like horses, you give the whole tube.

They also sell VetDTox, which says it's safe for Poultry, and is also an activated hardwood charcoal formula.

You can't buy it at that site, but you can do a google search. I have bought it at Valley Vet Supply. www.valleyvet.com
