I don't think I can get ketoconcazole without takng her to a vet though, can I? OR Fluconazole. She seems like she's feeling better, she got down to eat dinner tonight, which she didn't do last night. I noticed that directions for Nystatin say to mix feed with light oil so the Nystatin powder will adhere to it. What kind of light oil is best to use? Dampening the feed with water would do the same thing, wouldn't it?

Google ketoconazole for fish:

Can also get fluconazole that way.

Garlic can be toxic to birds.

I give plenty of garlic to my chickens and they are ok. some of them love it and fight for it. I recently gave crushed garlic to 6 weeks old chicks and they are fine, too. it helps their immune system.

I know many do, but I think you will find that vets will say not to.

A Dusky-headed conure (Aratinga weddelli) [also known as Weddell’s conure] with a history of being force fed a large amount of garlic (Allium sativum) was presented because of anorexia and lethargy. The conure died one hour after supportive care was administered. At necropsy, a half clove of garlic and several large pieces of chicken meat were present in the crop. Histopathologic findings of hemoglobinuric nephrosis and hepatosplenic erythrophagocytosis strongly suggested an acute hemolytic event . [Meaning the microscopic examination of the bird’s tissues and body fluids revealed the abnormal presence of hemoglobin, that had been separated from the red blood cells, along with protein in the urine. Hemoglobin is the protein-iron compound in blood that carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide away from he cells to the lungs for exhalation. Additionally, the body’s macrophages and phagocytes had attacked and consumed red blood cells adversely affected the liver and spleen. These findings indicate that hemolysis, the destruction of red blood cells, had occurred.] Frozen kidney and liver samples were negative for polyomavirus DNA, and tissue lead and zinc levels were normal. The clinical presentation and postmortem findings in this conure are similar to those in mammals with onion and garlic (Allium species) toxicosis.(4) The Dusky-headed conure weighs approximately 95 gms. This is just slightly larger than my Green-cheek conure, Elvis, who weighs 80 gms.

Children in a candy store act the same.

I don't feed my chickens garlic. I just give it to them as a healthy treat from time to time.
