Ducks ey closed and coughing

Date sort Score sort
I will treat them all for worms first to see what happens. I gave them all electrolytesmand vitamins today. There is a farm store 45 minutes away that I'll call in the morning to see if they carry safe guard. I use the goat dosage?

Fleet farm has a powdered safeguard for dogs but not goats. Before I travel to get it can I give the ducks that?

That's too expensive, look in the goat, horse and cattle section for the liquid or paste.

This is what you're looking for:









And you need this to give it:

These two can be given orally, but shouldn't be injected:

The instructions say to mix them in water, but that's not a good way to give it.

This one is injectable and can also be given orally:

The doses my vets have recommended are:
  • 10mg/kg (0.045ml per pound) twice a day for five days
  • 15mg/kg (0.068ml per pound) once a day for five days
  • 20mg/kg (0.09ml per pound) once a day for five days

The Baytril website says 10mg/kg (0.045ml per pound) per day.

Here is a bunch of info on Baytril (enrofloxacin). Has info like dosing for the different species, drug interactions, side effects, etc.

I bought the paste for horses. Do I give the above dosage for safeguard or baytril? I didn't buy baytril as they don't carry it but have other stuff for respiratory. I'm going to try the wormer first and hope that works. How do I give them the paste and for how long? I'm going to give it to all 4 just if case.

From left to right:
Small = 10mg ( .1cc)
Medium = 25mg (.25cc)
Large = 50mg ( .5cc) this is for chickens Large meaning Large Fowl so saying a LF chicken can weigh up to 8-10 Lbs weight your ducks and give according to chart.
