should I pull this scab off?

[KaleIAm]

Is that Meloxicam?

Can you share the avian dose for Meloxicam?

Can you share the avian dose for Meloxicam?

0.5mg/kg (once) according to Plumbs veterinary drug handbook 9th edition.

What do you have, the oral suspension, injectable, or tablets?

 

[Isaac 0]

Oral suspension.

What is the MG/ML? 0.5/ml, or 1.5mg/ml?

Good question, sorry, I'll have to check on that when I get home from work tonight. I'll be home in 3 hours and I'll respond ASAP. Thank you very much for your help with this.

This is for my duck, who is 10 pounds. Also, do you know what the egg-withdrawl period is from the cephalexin? Thanks!

My vet told me 3 weeks from the last dose.

10 lbs! It's CoriM's duck from this thread. I'm giving her my leftover metacam tomorrow.

Gotcha! I got a little confused.

Cori, will need around 2.25mg of the meloxicam, so that would be equivalent to 1.5ml's of the liquid.

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Just a little update on my duck's bumblefoot. I pulled the first big piece of scab off, didn't have an obvious kernel, but pulled out some yellowish stuff and left it bandaged for two days, pulled off the outer edge scab after that and left it bandaged another two days. It's been another two days now and I soaked the foot for a few minutes after which the top part of the scab almost fell off and there was pink skin underneath. The photo below shows it before that other piece of scab fell off. The rest of the current scab is soft and it feels like swelling has gone down. She's doing the cephalexin, which was powder in a capsule that I'm mixing with water, and also the metacam (thank you Kale!!). Yesterday and today I slathered it with Prid and re-bandaged.
