I know this topic has been discussed a thousand times but starting a fresh so I have all the required info in one place

I have a group of 8 turkeys (2m6f) about three years old. Living next door to but not directly with chickens.

Lost one stag last week. Lethargic. Green poo. Now another stag is presenting the same symptoms plus loss of balance. I suspect blackhead.

Is there anything I can do other than watch them slowly die or cull? I have a very good vet who will prescribe off label but we suspect there isn't much to try.

I have prescribed access to most farm drugs and can discuss any proposal with my vet. Including baytril, tylan, ivermectin, emtryl etc etc

Blackhead is usually sulfur yellow poo.
Green can be bile from not eating

Thanks for your signpost - yeah it's more green. The earlier stag was yellow.
