How do I administer Medistatin?

[casportpony]

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

That's how I give it. Sorry the article isn't clear.

I agree. I've read the article and that's how I've figured out dosing but I don't see where it mentions how to administer. Did I miss it?

I don't have the bottle yet as I had to order but I was reading the administration directions on the webpage.

I don't know if you missed it...

It's a great article, actually!

We've been battling this for awhile. I've posted a few threads in the past. Her crop seems to be emptying fine and honestly she doesn't seem to have the other symptoms I've read about but she has an ongoing case of stinky sour milk like breath. Her eggs have the same sour smell? We don't eat them. She also seems underweight to me. Other than that she acts like all the other girls. I've tried miconozole and fluconozole. The miconozole helped somewhat the first time around so when the fluconozole didn't help I tried that again but I fear she may have built up a resistance. She definitely seems to be dealing with something else that is causing it. I'm just not sure what the underlying issue is. She is eight months old and has never been dewormed. I've checked the closest feed stores today and have found Valbazen and Safeguard in stock. So the plan is Deworming, medistatin, and probiotics designed for women's yeast infection ( per an article I read on here) I'm also going to try switching her feed to an organic non-gmo feed in hopes that will help.

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

I am going to revise my dosing instructions to say it should be given by syringe in case there are lesions in the mouth or esophagus. Thanks for making me think it through a little better.

Is having some poop tested by a vet an option?

I'm going to email my vet that treats my cats and see if they will do one. I'm not sure if they will without seeing the bird or if they even treat chickens. I live about an hour from town so I'm a little concerned about bringing her to the vet office itself. I'm worried about stressing her out too much. She's a bit of a drama queen. I've considered an online test, but I wasn't sure how accurate they are?

Also, another question... How long should I wait between administering the Medistatin and allowing her to eat?

I am all for fecals, but I think if she were mine I would save the money and just de-worm her.

That's a good question, one that I don't have an answer to, but I think I would probably wait two hours.
