So glad they are gone @3bird How'd Mouse do with taking her meds?

We still don't have confirmation on if we can mix them, so it's pretty challenging. Alas.

Might give them a call back it can be frustrating for both to have to do this separate.

We can mix all three, but boy is it a challenge. Not going terribly well...

Can you put some in her duck soup just for her? will she take it that way? Peas Mealworms?

She's our most skittish duck. We've tried giving it to her as a treat, but her buddies want it too. When we isolate her, she gets completely freaked out and won't eat. We did get the go-ahead to give it all together, so this evening it will be back to a syringe. Sigh...

It can sure be a challenge.Especially when one is so skiddish to begin with. Have you seen @casportponys thread on giving meds?

start here and scroll down to get to giving oral meds.

Quick update: Mouse is doing well and into her second week of meds. Piglet's final tests were fairly inconclusive for leucocytozoonosis. Mouse has not had a good egg for about a week now (which makes it easy to know which egg we can't eat!). I'll update when I have more info. Thanks again for the great support from the BYC crew! Quack!

How's Mouse and everyone doing today been a while.
