Hi everyone!
I have 3 ducks i found with symptoms parallel with botulism or toxicity of some sort. I am aware how to treat it but my issue is that I am worried it’s a magnesium sulfate toxicity. I had to do an epsom flush on my ducks yesterday morning as recommended by my vet for some unrelated symptoms. Everyone else seems fine but these three but I am so worried I accidentally added to much. The 3 were fine all day yesterday, it’s just this morning. One is unable to walk, the other are shaking but still acting normal so far, not eating as far as I can tell.
While I am at work, i have ensured that the 3 are hydrated and have them in a cool area so I can treat them once I am on lunch.
So my question is, which flush should i perform? Charcoal, molasses or another epsom (which i am weary about) and should i treat everyone or just the ones showing symptoms? If I treat everyone, how would I do that?
Thank you in advance
