EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[kajira]

Hmmm - I have a conundrum with my horse. She needs bute - but my vet isn't licensed until march, to write prescriptions in Tx.... is there any over-the counter variations that can be given for pain relief to a horse until she can fill an RX at a pet pharmacy for us?

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing as well as possible.

I need your input here:

That was post number 50k for me, and I'd like to make it a great collection of first aid items that we use. Please reply there with your suggestions and I will update the list. For now I'm trying to stay away from medications and just want to focus on the basics.

Quote: One can get injectable bute without a prescription, but it has to be given IV, it cannot be given IM, and I think it's not supposed to be given for more than a few days when given by injection. I have searched high and low for a bute source, but I cannot find the pills or paste without a presriction.

Way you are doing that to them? This wound can be an entry platform to some nasty pathogens to your chicks body.

I am doing this to keep all the breeds separate, and to keep the lines straight. Otherwise I would need to set up 9 different brooders, run 9 different heat sources, and 9 different grow out pens.

I already have 15 breeding pens.


I sell some of these I need to be able to tell Toads from White Legbars at 2-5 days of age.

I needto tell Cuckoo Maranm, Dominique and barred rock chicks apart with 100% certainty. So I have to take the risk.  It was a hard thing to decide to do, I only did it after talking to a lot of breeders and seeing their results. None of them mentioned infection by anything as a problem.

I have tried fingernail  polish, bands and none of them work well.

I've done this for years to mark chicks that are split to another color(isabel, lavender, chocolate, etc). Never have had an issue and it heals quickly.
