Belly and whole body feel good, no bloat, hot spots, or reaction to palpitations.

I will see if I can locate the calcium you suggested or something of a higher quality than Tumbs. Where do you find it? Vet, pharmacy?

I appreciate this Ravyn

We find it in our feed stores in cattle section... not sure there though... pharmacy might? but I would still check the feed stores first...

Oh adding to the body condition... thin and a bald patch on head and back between wings. I assume both are from over mating

Bald patches I would say yes, are from overmating, but the thinness worries me.. and why I suggested dewormer as well... what dewormers can you get?

Calcium citrate in tablet form would be my second choice if you can't find the calcium gluconate. FYI, calcium gluconate is used to treat "milk fever" in cattle.

Which ones? Ingredients wise?
Praziquantel/Ivermectin one is best, or fenbendazole or albendazole is excellent too...

Is it the 1.87%? If so, it's no more than 1 mg/kg which is:

• 1 x 1 /18.7 = 0.05 ml per 1 kg.

or

• 1 /2 x 1 /18.7 = 0,024 ml per *pound*

Does that help?

Ivermectin paste = 18.7 mg ivermectin per 1 ml (and yes, one 1 ml does indeed weigh 1 gram).


Blobs above peas

From left to right:
Small = 0.1 ml = 1.87 mg ivermectin
Medium = 0.25 ml = 4.675 ivermectin
Large = 0.5 ml = 9.35 mg ivermectin


The blob next to the grain of rice

0.025ml = 0.4675 mg ivermectin
