Birds actually get more per pound than cats because it can cause eye problems in cats when more than 5mg/kg are given. The Baytil website says the dose for birds is 10mg/kg, but sometimes my vets have me use twice that.

Five pound cat - 12mg (.12ml of the 10% Baytril)
Five pound bird - 24mg (.24ml of the 10% Baytril)

You guys, I have sad news

Yesterday and today I've seen Kristof getting on top of Ana and pecking her head. So it looks like Kristof is a boy. Ana is so small were worried Kristof will hurt her, but with Elsa also being a drake were worried they might kill her. My husband saw Kristof today pecking Ana's head to keep her down and then getting on top of her and said he will have to take care if him tonight. This is are nicest duck and my sons favorite and all my daycare kids favorite. I really thought he was a girl and now here we are two drakes and one duck. I'm going to take my son somewhere while my husband does the dirty work. He's only four, it's not something he needs to see.

Did you actually see mating where the penis [corkscrew shaped ] was hanging out of Kristof? girls mount girls and can go through the whole mating ritual I agree if Kristof is fav why does he have to be culled if he is a drake?

Id take kristof if I could, then he could have girls and such, but you live too far from me

My Ronald is 5-6 Months old now, and she's got some identity issues...
When she was younger she decided that she didn't like the other Muscovies because they were too mean and stubborn. So she started hanging with my 3 other ducks (all of different breeds: Indian Runner, Welsh Harlequin and a Crested Call). Now she won't stop talking!
She almost makes an actual 'Quack' noise similar to my Call duck!

All the time, she chatters away, it's pretty funny, she just won't shut up!

She's got 2 of my Muscovies utterly confused, and my baby drake (3mnths) still peeps all the time, he hates hissing and huffing, haha. Oops, I guess there are some issues with a mixed breed household!

Although, I think the funniest thing is watching my bantam hens tell my 5.5Kg drake he's not allowed to eat his food! He's such a push over, he backs away from them!

They are very pretty. My goose thought he was a giant Muscovy for 5 yrs till we got him a goose.

Not $13, but it will work much better than anything you can get at the feedstore.
