If this baby lives it will truly be a miracle! I left it for a few minutes to go turn some horses out and it got stuck upside down in the water. It is a very shallow bowl, with only about an inch of water... but it is too weak to right itself it it gets flopped over. The others run into it and knock it over sometimes. Well, I found it just in time. i bet just a few seconds longer and it would have died. It was giving up and very cold. I got it dry and warmed up and am just hoping it did not aspirate (wishful thinking). Against what is the norm...I am putting this one by itself in a small crate when I cant be right with it. It has been in my shirt for the last hour and a half.

As far as the Albon working...I don't know except there is no more blood in the poo. Its attitude is exactly the same as it has been all along. Sleepy for a couple of hours, perky for about 10 seconds, then back to sleep for hours. I wake it up to feed it. I catch it drinking on its own sometimes, but not really eating. Takes a pick or two...and then shakes its head.

UPDATE: Bo Peep is doing much better this morning! Maybe it was the Corid "drench"...just kidding I think maybe it is the baytril. I did keep it alone last night..put marbles in the water dish, and she(it) is hanging with her other "peeps" atm, running around like a turkey poult should. I can tell she is still somewhat weak, so I will continue to supplement as needed, and stay on the baytril and corrid for a bout 5 days. Will update again soon. Thank you so much!!!

That's great news! It's possible that there is more than one thing wrong, so it could be all the meds are helping.

This turkey is doing great, but I need your help again, please. I just got an order of chicks this morning...19 from Murray McMurray. All but the only two That are Salmon Favorelles are great. These two have runny (clear) eyes and poopy butts. One feels and acts fine. The othe does not. It will not eat, but will drink. Any advice?
