Avian Medicine: Principles and Applications

Avian Medicine: Principles and Applications
Ritchie, Harrison and Harrison
This highly regarded was developed to provide a definitive reference text that blends the science of health with the art of clinical medicine.
By applying the information presented in the book, the competent avian practitioner will be able to effectively provide the highest quality care for his patients and guide the companion bird client or aviculturist in implementing and effective preventative health programme. Less experienced practitioners can learn basic evaluation, support and surgical techniques while developing an expanded understanding of advanced procedures that can be performed by specialists in avian medicine and surgery.
Avian Medicine: Principles and Application is the essential reference and the most comprehensive why to, when to and how to guide for companion and aviary bird management, medicine and surgery.

Will you help? Can you tell people how you figured out how much food to give all of them?

Sure! That is the easy part since I feed them twice a day every day.

I know about how much they are going to eat at each feeding.
I mix the birds food with water to make a 'mash'. It does not have to be anything special, it can be just crumbles wet down to the consistency of oatmeal, birds love a wet mash and devour it readily. I have a recepie that I mix up and I like to change it up every few days to keep them interested in the food. If you do this for a few days you will know how much to make so that all the birds will get their fill. Be sure that there is a little left over so that no one is left out, they will clean it up in an hour or so. I like to feed the meds in the morning so they have that time to clean it up, or if I didn't make enough I can make more.
 
Another thing I like about meds in the feed is that heavier birds eat more so they get the right amount of meds according to their weight.

I figure the weight of the birds in that pen and then measure the correct amount of med for that weight.
 
Okay, so do like he said for a few days. Then guess the total weight of the birds to be treated together in pounds, divide that by 2.2 (that converts pounds to kg), times 50 (mg per kg) and divide and 100 (mg per ml). For example, a flock of 10 eight pound hens weighs 80 pounds so:

This is for Safeguard liquid at 50mg/kg
80 ÷ 2.2 x 50 ÷ 100 = 18.18 ml, so round up to 20 ml, that's what one needs to mix in the food for that group of birds.

And Corid?

Corid drench or Corid liquid in food?

Corid liquid in food would look like this for the same 10 eight pound birds.
This is for Corid liquid at 10mg/kg
80 ÷ 2.2 x 10 ÷ 96 = 3.78ml, so round up to 4 ml, that's what one needs to mix in the food for that group of birds, and that needs to be done twice a day.

I need to think about a way to write instructions for a single oral dose.
