Benebac is pro-biotic bacteria, just like yogurt but made in a little tube for animals. It is a little more focused and intensified. When given properly (oral) it assists in the digestion and absorption of medications. I use it when my fosters have heavier medicines or a lot of them. It settles stomachs well and ensures the medication won't stop them from eating.
VetRX Poultry is a mix of oils and some fairly safe ingredients, one of which is rosemary oil, for treating respiratory problems and ETC. You can find Rosemary on your own (I don't think it will be as effective) it does refesh your nasal passageways and is nontoxic. Both VetRX and rosemary can be dripped down the beak around the nasal passage ways in small amounts and dabbed on feathers for colds. Heres a website that includes uses and applications: http://www.drugs.com/vet/vetrx-poultry-remedy.html .
Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution normally used for infants or children. The website mentions that Pedialyte doesn't do well when mixed in with fluids, that would be true if it were given to human. Other animals need to have it mixed into their water. The concentration might upset their stomach if they drink it straight. It's fine in tablespoons or larger if diluted. It just shouldn't replace water.

Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution that is specifically designed to replace fluids and minerals (electrolytes) that are lost when a child has diarrhea with or without vomiting. Pedialyte is effective because it contains only small amounts of sugars (dextrose and fructose) that are balanced with appropriate levels of electrolytes. Pedialyte is designed with this precise combination of sugars and electrolytes to promote quick fluid and electrolyte absorption. In general, other household beverages such as sports drinks, sweetened sodas and juices are too high in carbohydrates (sugar) and too low in sodium -- an important electrolyte that is lost during diarrhea and vomiting.
Echinacea can be ingested several ways but I doubt a chicken will take it voluntarily. I use a powdered form mixed in with water and then syringe feed it orally. You can sprinkle it onto food but I would avoid making anything less tasty when an animal already needs help with their immunity. I have used it with rodents, lagamorphs and ferrets with good results and the recovery time from things like infections sped up. Plus they seem much more energetic. I have no experience with using with chickens but if you look around the web some people have since it is nontoxic to birds.
What a wall of text.
Totally worth it though! The only way I found out about these little life savers was from word of mouth ya know?
EDIT: Forgot to say that Pedialyte works well for animals in shock. :O

After doing the LORE project, this chaps my hide a little. Plus they were too lazy to delete the non-listing info
like the reference to Henk.

That is cut & pasted directly out of the BYC breed database. Henk is one of the genetic gurus here. It bugs me becuase I KNOW how much work Nifty puts into those types of projects. It feels like theft.

I posted a couple weeks ago about Vicky having some kind of blood blister looking thing on her leg. She was acting kind of tired again this morning and staying to herself, when I noticed blood down her leg again. Does this look like anything in particular
? I washed her leg with water when I checked on them a little bit ago she was in the coop panting while everyone else is out in the yard eating grass.
