Turkey is sick

[HelloReva]

I have a 2 year old royal palm Tom and the past few days he's had a runny nose and today I noticed he has green diarrhea. Maybe just a cold? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks so much in advance

You could try feeding him garlic. Does he have friends? Because I had a Royal Palm that died from lonliness.

Do not feed garlic to turkeys.

He has a friend the other is healthy. I've gotten some apple cider vinegar for the water for now decided to be safe and went ahead and made a vet appt for him Monday!

Good to know. Can you tell me why? I've read other sources that say to feed birds garlic when they have cold like symptoms.

I am sure that you have also read lots of unproven recommendations for using ACV. Since the advent of the Internet there is much more false information posted than verifiable studies.

Things that may work on people because of the placebo effect don't work on animals because the animals cannot take advantage of the placebo effect.
