Giving him charcoal with the dewormer would likely be counter productive so I could try charcoal capsules when the deworming course is complete.

Yes, of course it should not be given at the same time.

The Moro carrot soup can also help when battling with bacterial infection.

So maybe use the charcoal just as a last resort when everything else has failed.

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks for the coffee. @LaFleche that was scary.

Some macrogol stuff which I did not tolerate at all.

I can't take Golytely as it makes me barf.
I have to use Suprep.
Both are sulfate salt based instead of glycol based, the stuff you took.
Can you get Suprep in Germany?

Golytely contains polyethylene glycol which is macrogol which caused my allergic reaction. Nasty stuff even without artificial flavours.

Sounds interesting. What all does it contain? Any sweeteners or artificial or natural flavours or similar added?

For my last colonoscopy in 2013 I prepared using Glauber salts which is sodium sulfate. I guess I will have to resort to it although all the other stuff in common use is said to leave the colon much cleaner. Which does not help me at all as it all contains all kinds of artificial flavours, sweeteners etc. I am allergic to.

@LaFleche that was scary.

Indeed, my poor husband was white like a sheet not even able to properly communicate when calling the ambulance so I had to take over.
But luckily he is recovering well as am I. Thanks for the hug.

Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium sulfate. It does have sucralose and artificial flavors in it.

It's still hard on my system to take it but I can get through the 2 doses. I have found that if I take one dose over the course of an hour following every portion by gradually sipping a cup of cold water and walk the entire time, it makes everything much easier to deal with.

Sadly, not for me.

I often wonder about this as there are so many people allergic to artificial flavors and sweeteners, and still they do not produce an alternative of important medications without.

Tonya, I see your black chicks. Are a certain percentage of the Ermine Ameraucana born black with recessive 'mottled' genes?

No. They are dominant black. Mix ermine x ermine and you should get 50% ermine, 25% dominant white and 25% dominant black.
However, the quality of the ermine can become muddy by breeding ermine to ermine. I think one or two of my blacks are muddy ermine.
I'll have to see how they feather out.

Dominant white over black with produce better quality, first generation ermine coloration. I will be keeping a dominant white cockerel if I have one. If there isn't one in this brood, I will purchase a started cockerel. The Ameraucana chicks I purchased from a show breeder are pure black. I will keep all females and sell all males.

I do plan to keep 1 ermine cockerel as well.

Good Morning All,

Coffee is in the making. The sun is out and the air is freezing cold...cold here most likely be more like summer in many part of the world.

I am taking a break today, rest, eat, celebrate, and enjoy the sunshine in the garden if there is no rain. I done all my tasks yesterday.

Yesterday shopping with my mom was excessive. Mom got all the special half price advertise papers cut out from many different shops. My car's back seat and the trunk was completely full. I was wondering how I am going to carry all that in without bursting my knee caps?Lucky for me as my car just stopped at the drive way, my brother also just arrived. He carried most of the grocery in for mom.

That was scary @LaFleche went through the allergic reaction.
@DobieLover Fabio gets better!
