Karen feeling bad

[SolarDuck]

Have you tube fed her today? Are you going to put her on an antibiotic in case of infection?

Yes I did tube feed her but only once. I tried looking through my old thread to see how much I was giving penguin but I couldn't find it so I will need to figure it out again. I would love to put her on an antibiotic but as I said I just don't have any money to go to the vet and I don't know how to get one without the vet. I did order some charcoal pills that will be here first thing tomorrow morning.

Does anybody have a link to that big awesome tube feeding thread I used before with a crap ton of information?

Yes that is the one I am looking for thank you, and that link brought me to search results so just to make sure, this one?

The one there actually says it might take up to 10 days to ship. I checked my local tractor supply website, would any of these work?

It looks like they are all Oxytetracycline just different names. Except for the Penicillin

Is that good or bad?

Are you going to do injectable or orally?
I have never used these drugs so I think it would be best for you to go to Emergency forum and ask and also get doses too. I have Baytril and a couple other antibiotics but none of these. Tag @Wyorp Rock or @dawg53 they maybe able to help you with which drug is best and dose.

Orally, and okay she definitely isn't declining and isn't nearly as bad as Penguin and Puffin were last time so I wouldn't consider it an emergency yet. I guess I will order that one from the link you sent and if it gets worse before it arrives I will head to tractor supply and the emergency forum

Just keep her hydrated. Is she drinking at all on her own?
