How much collodial silver?

[Thechickentrainer1999]

How much colloidal silver can you give a sick chicken (mine has reproductive cancer)? I just ordered 500ppm from amazon.

How have you verified cancer? What do hope to do? Unfortunately, reproductive cancers and infections are aggressive and almost impossible to slow.

I took her to a vet that did an ultra sound. Have read in the past about cs "wonders" with mareks disease and thought it might be worth a try with cancer. I'm also thinking about trying fenbendazole. For now, I'm just giving garlic mixed with vinegar water. Vet didn't give any treatment options and I've already lost one in the past so thought what do I have to lose?

The thread is a bit long and there's good info there and some not the best. Look specifically at the posts made by Hen Pen Jem and Coach723. Use the Filter at the top of the page, click on the 3 dots to click on "who replied" this will give you a drop down, then click on one of those people and it will give you their posts...hope that makes sense.

Garlic is toxic to chickens, I recommend you stopping that treatment.

Really? Mine have ate it before and have drank it? I thought it was safe.

Google and misinformation are typically hand in hand.
A little is OK, but very little. It doesn't really help them though, in little amounts and anything greater than that is a no go. it's a blood thinner, dissolves blood cells, prevents new ones from being made, causes anemia, dizziness, stroke like symptoms, death.

The dewormer won’t help cancer in any way. When it’s not needed due to worm overload it will only serve to make her even more uncomfortable in the meantime. Cancer patients tend to be nauseous and more readily so, given additives and supplements that aren’t benefitting her even in small ways otherwise for this condition.
So sorry!
