Help... Sick Turkey tom

[1 true Phoenix]

Can you bring him inside where it's warm?

He is currently in their coop...

Any ideas of what might be wrong with him or what I can do to help him?

How is your turkey doing Lynnmck?

He is totally fine now. Thanks! I wormed him for gapeworm and within two days he was all better.
How is your poor boy making out?

Not so good... What dewormed did you use?

I used the ivermectin cattle injectable. I gave him 2.5 cc’s orally. ( in the mouth into the crop)

He still with us this morning, honestly I'm surprised but grateful.
His crop still feels full of liquid this morning... Still not sure what to do, I don't feel anything else in his crop but can't mess with it too much or the liquid starts to come up, I was hoping the liquid would be gone by this morning but he feels as full as last night. I really hope someone can help me figure this out. Don't want to loose my boy, he's such a good tom.

Can you get him to a vet?

Unfortunately no... No poultry vets. In our area and even if I could get him to university vet. (Which is pretty far away)couldn't afford the vet. bill with everything going on right now.

go to poultrydvm and look at the parasite one. try to find which one matches his symptoms. My vet said chickens and turkeys show the same.

I understand. I really think a shot of Baytril is what he needs.
