Echinacea capsule dose

[GuineaMania]

Hi! I want to give these echinacea capsules to my guinea hen, what would be the dosing?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Why?

My guinea hen (about 1 yr old) has had respiratory issues off and on for a while, slightly wheezy breath, sneezing, etc. She is healthy and acts normal other than that. I have echinacea on hand and know it is good for respiratory health but couldn’t find dosages for a guinea fowl.

Do you have a vet that sees chickens?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Sorry, I mean guinea fowl?

 

[GuineaMania]

No, and it's too expensive.

Maybe one if our Educators can help.

I have no idea about holistic remedies, you'd have to search the site or do some online digging to see if you can find more information.

Respiratory issues off and on again but she acts healthy and normal. Not sure what would cause that. Maybe some environmental, do symptoms worsen when inside the coop, when dust bathing or if you add new bedding?

Okay, thank you for reaching out. I'll do some more digging. Yes, symptoms do get a little worse with dust bathing.

I just don't want to overdose her, does anybody know if 1 capsule a day would cause harm?
