Alright, I've got it on watch too.

What about adding a note that it doesn't treat tape worms? That's about the only thing I can think of that might be helpful.

I thought about that. Technically it's not true because there are some studies that say it treats some species, and some people here have successfully treated tapes with it. Maybe I will figure out a clever way to word it.

Also had a chicken rip their claw off. I guess from digging at the frozen ground. The whole nail was off leaving the pointed nail bed exposed, which she had also ripped. Brought her in, cleaned it really well with dog ear cleaner (only gentle cleaner I had on hand), and had to snip off part of the skin that was hanging. Finally got the bleeding to stop with corn starch.
Turned her back out but I'm worried for infection.
What do yall think about cauterizing the nail bed? Worried about it constantly opening back up and bleeding.

For all my chilly friends.

I need a bit of help. One of my visiting birds, a blue heron, arrived today in my creek. Not sure why he's here IN THE WINTER? He only visits in the summer, he looks very cold and sick, he is huddled up, watery eyes and nose and looks old for a young bird, He's been coming around for 5 years so not sure how old he is, but he isn't OLD. He could barely fly and got himself stuck in a thorn bush, got him out and he flew off somewhere, I want to find him, he looked awful and I'd hate to see him die.

I like words like possibly, probable, and potentially. The 3P's are good noncommittal words.

I forgot to ask if it was okay to use Valbazen in conjunction with the Zimecterin?

I feel that way at times. I had grass less than a year ago. Made for nice picture. Now I've got dirt, and about a dozen weeds that the chickens have refused to eat.

@Duck_life Oh my heart breaks for stories like that, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with cranes/herons. Look up Phantom on here though...they keep cranes.
