Figured I'd update because I always like to find resolution in searches.
I ended up doing 5 days of tiamulin last month. Followed by another fecal 2 weeks after that was done. Cappilaria present again so treated that. (Did the fecal bc she wasn't quite herself and had some yellow droppings)...
I did 5 days of enrofloxacin. Finished 4 days ago.
Now this watery green poop. (See pic). 3 days ago she looked a bit off, but last 2 days she's been acting ok. Still eating/drinking.
Should I do another round of antibiotics?
I have a little mg scale from Temu. And gelcaps Amazon. I get the ones that hold essential oil and it's what I use for meds...like wormer or whatever is best to direct dose. Plus the tiny syringes.
But yes the math, forever my weakness. I always second guess lol. I did college algebra and...
I had to do some digging bc i needed this too. This is an answer I got from my FB chicken group friend.
**Dosage is 10mg per kg. The label says it's 10mg per 100mg of powder.
So 100mg of that powder per kg of bird.**
For a 4lb chicken looks like 181 mg twice a day. Check my math on above. My...
Do you have any recommendations?
I've been doing Amoxicillin and Albon since Saturday.
She's tail up, scratching around, and eating like a normal chicken today. I'm going to check her crop tonight to see how she did.
It's also small compared to googled lash eggs. Maybe 1/4-1/2 inch thick x 1 inch long.
It's inside a clear baggie in this pic lol, not touching it....🤮
She had other droppings after this that had bulk, almost normal, but brownish green. Prob what a fed her by hand last night. As green indicates bile, not eating.
Bingo pooped this under the roost bars last night. I poked it with a disposable knife, it's firm.
Source of infection or intestinal tissue? God forbid, lash egg
I didn't think of it that way. I wanted to treat the flagellates, which we think may be blackhead based on Bingos symptoms. I believe to truthfully know is a necrospy? So whatever is recommended for blackhead, I should dose that.
Long story. Vet approach was corid. I went ahead and did...
She is eating today, prob not as much but better than yesterday. I can torpedo feed her if need be. Im going to check her crop later and will fill her up if she needs it
I forgot to ask, would the medicine be harmful as a powder in the crop?
She didn't want to eat/drink much today. I'm going to try and entice her with other things tomorrow. I tried tuna, eggs, and grapes today. She only nibbled the grapes. Read that albon can reduce appetite 🥺
I believe a heaping tsp would be 5 grams. My tsp was level at the rim. I set up my scale to zero out that paper, so it's a true weight. Level tsp 4.28 grams.
