Male Turkey with gapeworms? Need help with treatment.

Okay, that's good to know. Corid is not an antibiotic, it's a coccidiostat. Get that wormer in him and get a video posted.

Okay sounds good, I’m about to head out there

 

[danielley101215]

Here’s two videos of him

Let me know what you think, we just gave him his first dosage of the safe guard too 3.4 mL he took it all down

I think if he were mine I would start him on antibiotics too. Can you get him to a vet?

I will continue to treat him with safe guard for the next four days as directed and see what that does. I don’t think I could get him to a vet, but I’m not sure. I just don’t know what my options would Be depending on money

 

[danielley101215]

I’m hoping The safeguard will help. But if not what options do I have?

The safeguard should kill the gape worms if that's what he has.
If it doesn't, it may be a respiratory disease but who knows what antibiotic would treat it without a swab test.

 

[danielley101215]

I’m just not sure what I should attempt to do if not

 

[casportpony]

I worry that just handling him might be enough to kill him because in the two videos he appears to be in serious respiratory distress. How does he manage to eat and dink enough like this?

Please don't think I'm being critical or judgmental, I'm just worried that he might be very close to the edge.
