Runny Poop and Swollen Abdomen

[Eggcessive]

Yep, those are small wattles, alright! LOL.

Yes they are!
After some struggles I was able to feed her about .6ml of dewormer. is it possible to underdose and cause the worms (or whatever it is) to develop an immunity? I tried to give her the right amount but I ended up getting some on her beak and on the tip of the syringe, but I think she still got at least .55ml.

@casportpony should I give her the paste for 5 days? Or once every 10 days?

Sorry for the delay! If you think she might have capillary worms give it for 5 days.

It is possible to under dose them, but the amount you gave is close enough that you don't need to worry.

Pictures for you:

The hole at the back of the tongue is the trachea - Nothing should ever go in there!



Please note that I was the one holding the bird and taking the pictures, please use both hands!

• Hold bird - I like to sit with my thighs parallel to the ground, feet firmly on ground and the bird in my lap. I hold it gently, but firmly and grab the head.

• Open mouth and wait for bird to relax.

• Insert syringe - I like to insert from left to right, across the tongue, behind the trachea, into the oesophagus. Again, wait for the bird to relax.

• Give wormer
