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

Quote: Paziquantel dose for tapes is 10 mg/kg

So it's:
1 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.06 ml per pound, which is a smidge more than this



A five pound bird would get:
5 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.3 ml, which is about the size of a pea.

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


The blob next to the grain of rice is 0.025ml (.4675 mg ivermectin)

My dog just got out the door while my chooks were free ranging. She got Rocky.

He's now in my basement.... His tail is nearly gone. I don't know if he'll make it- His insides were visible.

I put a figure eight bandage around him to hold his tail up so it doesn't get worse.... What else should I be doing??

He's got spunk though, which gives me hope. He was pecking me when I put him in the carrier.

As for doggy, she'll be getting aquainted with the buisiness side of a shock collar.

Can you see his organs?

I don't think they were visible- Silkie skin combined with blood made it hard to see. :/
The wound was about an inch deep.

It looks like someone tried to amputate his tail and only made it halfway through....

 

[BantyChooks]

See that dip? That's where the tail muscles are in two. I put the bandage so as to keep the wound edges together.

Quote: If the wound doesn't go into his abdominal cavity he should be okay *if* you clean it properly. Can you post a picture
