In Wisconsin (metro milwaukee) just to walk in the door to the vet it’s $201. That’s the one and only vet I’ve found that sees turkeys. And so far- I’m told he’s treated ONE. Not sure how successfully. And I cannot find a vet to come out. Then after the $201, you are charged for any treatment and meds that may be necessary.

I know! Remember I looked into at your suggestion with that little one who was a flipper. And then I think he may have gotten perosis if you recall? He ended up stepping on his own feet and barley walking. I picked him up one night to check weight and set him down (he was carried a ton because he couldn’t keep up to the rest of them so he was very used to multiple times a day being carried and picked up) and I believe he had a heart attack at my feet when I gently set him down. I walked away and he ran back to me and flipped over on his back. I flipped him right side up and then he flailed for about twenty seconds and died at my feet. I’ve been so sad from all his special care and bonding that this is the first I’ve mentioned it. It happened a week and a half ago. It was sad. But likely for the best. I exercise my BBs because I read somewhere that helps with longevity. I run a few times a day around my ten acres and they follow (which is funny when a visitor is scared of them and runs and they follow because that’s what I taught them to do. Lots of guests end up back in their car :wee). Anyway, not sure if you have any input. This little guy made it all the way to 11 weeks. He was REAL touch and go the first few weeks.

I would do 3 times a day because this has been going on for a long time now.

Okay sounds good, we will start tomorrow morning then since it’s already evening here :) how many hours apart, so if I’m up about 12 hours a day, treat her every 4? That would be three treatments. And it sucks because her crop is awful and she’s also battling fowlpox currently :(

I suggest you plan on being up for more than 12 hours a day. ;) Treat every 6-8 hours, just do your best to get 3 a day in.
