Hi everyone! I recently lost all but one of my turkeys to blackhead disease. My last turkey, Meatball, started showing signs a week ago. I’m on day five of treatment which is metronidazole twice a day for five days. I also made him garlic/oregano infused water. He has made a huge improvement with this treatment plan. He went from being sickly to alert, energetic, talkative, and you wouldn’t know anything was ever wrong with him if it wasn’t for his occasional yellow poop. Sometimes his poop looks almost normal. With that being said, should I keep treating him until there’s no more yellow poop? Thank you!
Also, he’s by himself and the question of getting him a friend is constantly on our mind. Now that we’ve found a successful treatment process, would getting him another turkey be a good or bad idea?

I've treated many for blackhead (histomonias), and when I do, I give them metronidazole, enrofloxacin, and fenbendazole. I think as long as you have all three medications, and you start treating the minute they look off, you can stay ahead of it.
