Histomoniasis: Yellow Urate & Lethargy in Poult...

[Pennys Mama]

One more question @Pennys Mama @casportpony
Is Jake now a carrier of blackhead, or will he be able to be housed with other turkeys?

What @R2elk said... that's why I want to keep him in a separate pen from the chickens for roosting at least until he's able to roost in the trees on his own. Hopefully keeping them all wormed up good will keep the Blackhead at bay. He loves roaming around foraging though, but I won't let him out to do that unless I'm out there with him.

Here's your morning dose of poo, lol. The one on the puppy pad was from during the night, the others were when I was carrying him outside, super fresh.

I found some yuck for you!

He's completed his enrofloxacin now. Only on corid in his water. In a couple of days he's due his repeat dose of safeguard. Anything else you can think that I could/should be doing? You can tell he's putting weight back on, his keel doesn't feel as prominent.

Hows he acting? He looks a little too sleepy in that picture and that one cecal poop looks a little too loose.

Weight?

I didn't weigh him this evening.
I was gonna get a weight on him in the morning.
He's acting really good, stronger, was running around doing turkey things today. Eating & drinking. I don't know what to do to "fix" his cecal poo. I gave him some probiotics tonight, so maybe that'll help.

Edit: weight 1.36kg @casportpony

Have you abandoned me @casportpony? I still need you!!!

Here's a few of today's poos... he's still on corid in his water and will be getting his dose of Safe~guard tomorrow. Do you recommend anything else? I ordered the cayenne pepper to add to his feed, I'm hoping it will help be a preventative for him if nothing else. I had ordered that "Wormer Deluxe Powder" from Jedds but they're sold out (as are everyone else), so they're sending the "Worm~Out Gel" instead.
