That's what my teacher taught me in my veterinary University if he's streach his Neck up and and trying to Breath put him close open his beak wide and Blow Up 5 times in his beak very strongly 5 times remember if anything stuck there will be go down it's a Emergency Hack I learn in my University

quick update.....Gandolph is better today. Last nite he tried to just sleep on the floor of the barn. I moved him to a higher place. Continued his med, tried to remove some of the yellow stuff in his mouth. I was only able to remove a little bit. This morming I decided to split his antibiotics into 2 seperate doses so it's not so much at one time since it tastes so bad. I mixed it with my sweet creme brule coffee cream. Unconventional yes, but it was thick and sweet and as soon as he got it down, I put coconut oil in his mouth which he obviously likes. Thankyou for that idea! He looked better today, he did'nt have any gooey stuff in his mouth. I kept checking inside of it and there was less and less yellow stuff thru-out the day. Pardon the non-technical terms...gooey, yellow STUFF, etc. I'm pretty sure y'all understand tho. He was still kind of lagging a little behind his social group sometimes but he ate good. When the chickens went up for the night he tried to go back up with the others instead of staying on the ground...the Seramas like to roost high, he got most of the way up there but I had to help him up the last bit. He's still a little weak and I won't assume we're out of the woods yet but he's way better than yesterday and steadily improving. Thankyou everyone for your amazing wisdom and help. I will keep you updated.

I am happy to hear that Gandolf is doing much better. Good job.

How do you determine the dosage amount for a chicken so small?

 

[micstrachan]

I just read through this entire thread. Keep up the great work with Gandolf!

Be careful if you are using the meds from the pet store. They also contain a wormer. You don’t want to continuously dose him with that.
