Does this look infected?

I looked all over the bottle for dosing frequency, but couldn't see anything. its for cows, swine and sheep, so hopefully its ok . i believe it's a 100 ml. bottle and its the 300 (or 3000) strength. says it has penicillin and procaine...one of them had a g after the name. i assumed its the pro pen g people speak of...wouldnt that be the every other day stuff? i guess i'll have to check it when i get home from work. i'll post again tonight. thanks.

Why is she so thin?

i didn't catch that she had an impacted crop until it had soured. at that stage, i didn't know what i was dealing with. it took about a week to determine what was wrong with her... vomited her, treated her sour crop with monistat, etc. about a week into it i determined she had an impacted crop. spend another half a week trying to soften it. last wednesday i realized she wouldn't be able to pass it. took out the impaction. she has continued to eat through all of this. i wondered about worms, but haven't seen any sign of them at all. i think she had just gotten very thin before i realized what was up. i have been giving her scrambled eggs, earlier in the process yogurt...now i just put a little in her moistened mash, but she seems to like it without the yogurt, so i'm catering to whatever she will actually eat. yesterday i gave her some mealworms which she loved.

What did you remove from her crop?

If she is as thin as I think she might be, you need to go buy some Kaytee baby bird food, a tube, a syringe, and start tubing her.

Is she a 1 or 2?

You also need a scale.

It should be 300,000 IU per ml, so dose is:

Weight of bird in pounds, divide by 2.2, time 100, divide by 297

1 pound / 2.2 x 100 / 297 = 0.15 ml per pound
