Just to clarify why I think it was an intestinal infection, both turkeys were showing the same signs. I was only feeding the first turkey with the syringe and the ACV. Both turkeys got the amoxicillin and both turkeys are doing good. The problem was going on for about a month and I am happy...

First, in regards to removing the water from her crop, I felt I had to because each time she brought her head down to the ground, water would come out of her mouth. I felt that it was the lesser of two evils. She was either going to drown by laying down and pushing water into her throat or I...

I have a female BB Turkey that has stopped eating and I'm currently at my wits end on what to do. I do not feel any blockage in her crop. She was recently dewormed with the SafeGuard goat dewormer. She does not have sour crop. She drinks a lot of water, so much so that it collects in her...

I was also told to use the soluble tylan instead of the injectable. Lesson learned - I will never use the injectable tylan again.

I have made an appointment to see a vet on Thursday morning. Thanks

I gave the injections myself. She was going through a lot that started with prolapse vent and after that was corrected she stopped eating but continued to drink. After about a week of not eating, I thought that she might have an infection so I purchased the tylan 200 from Tractor supply and...

I gave my turkey 2 injections of Tylan 200 about 1 month ago but the injections sites have turned hard a black. She doesn't seem to be in any pain. Is there anything that I can do? Is this something that will eventually kill the bird? Thanks for any advice Jeff

I picked up the Safeguard goat dewormer and according to the bottle, the dosage should be .025 ml for every 1 lb of body weight. Thanks for the help

She has lost a good deal of weight but weighs 18 lbs

She is outside now and she showed signs of eating some chickweed and dirt but not interested in anything else.
