How do I administer Medistatin?

The green box at the bottom of the article...mix it with food.

I think that is what's confusing Kiki, the blue box above the green box says not to mix with food LOL

Instructions on Jedd's says to mix with soft food, but use an oil (plume plus) if mixing with seed.

This is for a chicken with sour crop. The bottle says to mix with grain, soft food or water for chicks.

The website said it's for pigeons or caged-birds only... uhm. Do you keep your chicken in a cage? If so then go ahead (not really I'm not too sure about that.)

The vets say not to fix it with food, so I tube it.

I didn't even see the blue box.
I guess I thought it was part of BYC...like this box's header since it's the same color.
My bad.

@casportpony please change that box color for me and explain for us all.

It's generic nystatin and can be used for any type of bird or mammal.

This is a great article.

Thank casportpony, not me!

Thank you.
So instead of tubing it one could carefully squirt it into the right hole in the mouth?

There are a million medications that the package says is for one animal or person. That doesn't mean it can't be used for a different one.

So...mix with enough water to make it liquid, then tube or syringe it.
