I don't have valbazen, never hear about it before!


Edited: What about albendazole? Should i give him now or what?

Valbazen is a trade name (commercial name) for albendazole, what you have.

Let's get the first batch of fluids tubed into him and then we can work on the albendazole (Valbazen).

I don't have fluids like this, i thought i'm going to use just water, its 20 minutes now since i gave him Baytril, so i can't mix water with their food?



Edited: i just read it again, i have Grinded corn will this work?

NO do not add ground corn to the fluids!

We add a little bit of sugar or corn syrup for the carbohydrates. Pedialyte and Gatorade also have electrolytes which help replenish what is lost. Pure water doesn't replace the electrolytes. So if you can add a bit of sugar or corn syrup to the water, and warm it to body temperature, that will help the bird get its fluid level back up.

If the bird becomes too dehydrated, it will die because its organs will shut down.

Just edited both of my pervious posts, should i find corn syrup in the supermarket? I can go check if we need it.

Is there no sugar in the kitchen? Surely someone in your home takes it in tea?

Of course i had sugar, so i just mix the sugar with hot water?

You can find sugar in the supermarket, also probably corn syrup -- that is a liquid sweetener, you want the clear kind -- but sugar will work as well. At the market, you may be able to find some kind of pedialyte or gatorade. At the pharmacy, ask for what liquids the pediatrician gives to children who are dehydrated from diarrhea? They will likely have something, I just don't know what name to tell you to ask for.

It would be an electrolyte replenishing drink.

Not hot, WARM, like body temperature. Only use a little sugar, maybe 1/2 teaspoon (that's a small amount) to 60 ml (2 ounces) of water

Any "sport drink" without caffeine will work, but don't delay, do just water now if that's all you have.
