Where did you get those? I do have some calcium citrate pills, but gosh they were like horse pills - I ended up not using them, they were so huge!
Do they make them that tiny for birds? I've used one when I was young for Horses and cows, but I also found with smaller animals I could do without it just as well!
She is taking lessons from momma hen. It is ok, move that lumber, next place will be even more hidden. Someone may be thinking of sneaking off to become a mommy.Look what I found!
Hidden gems
Know what the funniest part of that video is? When Glynda is just about to ramp up speed after Eowyn....and she suddenly checks herself as she sees you!
The way I have used the gel caps is I freeze them (takes them longer to go mushy) and fill them with any powdered type medicine I need to give, and then treat them like a pill.I do have calibrated droppers and syringes (and I forgot to add: nail brush and castile soap) Those live in the kitchen ( the droppers and syringes) I don't have a scale, but I've opened an amoxicillan capsule, added a bit of water to make a slurry, and measured/dosed that way.
I should consider Corid (I have - knock on wood - never had coccidosis in my flock - and have never used the medicated chick feed. Now, saying that out louds, I have probably jinxed myself!!!)
Where do you get baby bird formula? I've never seen it in stores! Is it an 'online only thing to be ordered?
Also - you may be surprised at this given what I have done, but I would be really, really nervous about tube feeding - what if I slipped it down the wrong way??They frequently pull their head up and away when trying to do things with them. Where would you get the small, flexible tubing for that? (and what size??)
I will probably forgo the gel caps - I have been mostly successful with pills...and if their mouth is damp, the gel caps can 'stick' and have to be pushed again.....
All very good suggestions, though. (And, no I don't usually use any anti-biotics. I only ever used it once with crop Surgery - for Crop Girl - as that was pretty invasive - in an 'unclean area' and she was probably too weak at that point to fight an infection if she got one!)
Citrical Minis - I get them at CVS - but also on line. The minis are oblong with nice smooth edges and not very large. No horse pills here thank you!
A poop hammock sounds like a perfect solution!
Yes - they make one for smaller animals.
