I do but it is expired. I can get it very easy though. What is the dosage I should give? Do I mix the injectable in his water? Or is just the injectible fine?

Could it be worms? I was reading yesterday about a type of worm that lives in the esophagus of birds.

But it is one yellow chunk in the pictures.

You aren't supposed to give it in water for several reasons...

• It's bitter and most birds won't drink it.
• Most sick birds don't drink enough when sick, so they won't get enough medication.
• It can bind with the calcium in hard water which can make it less effective.

@casportpony Ok, usually I give shots. But wasn’t sure if it needed to be something different. Does 1/4 cc per 5 pound sound right? For 5 days?

Ok so I have good news and bad news.


Good news: Whatever was in his choanal is now gone.

Bad news: For the past 20 minutes he has been constantly swallowing and jerking his head into the air swallowing. But he is taking sips of water and breathing fine. I suppose it is going down and feels weird.

Can you post a video of him?

I never have but I’ll try. He does not seem to swallow that much now. I have him up stairs with me. He is eating right now and being himself other than the random swallowing.

You'd have to upload a video to YouTube first, then link it here.
