Subject: Re: Sudden Death Author: maxie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:11:52 08/02/07 Thu In reply to: maxie 's message, "Re: Sudden Death" on 07:02:04 07/31/07 Tue Thanks DCT. The active ingredient in Flubenvet is Flubendazole, which appears (reading from Google) to treat nearly all worms infections. It doesn't treat for coccidiosis. Sorry to be a right pain in the arse DCT, but do you treat for coccidiosis as a preventative measure, or is it something you treat when they GET it? I feel such an idiot asking that! In answer to your other question, there are poultry labs here I think, but I'd have to do a search to find one. Luckily all my birds are very healthy (apart from always trying to get the red mite issue under control!) xx [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Sudden Death Author: Maxie [Edit] Date Posted: 07:44:13 08/03/07 Fri Sorry for asking you more DCT, but I've bought something called Coxoid, which I thought I'd put in the cupboard in case of emergencies. My chicks aren't eating chick crumbs anymore, they're on chicken pellets, maize, crushed dry cat food, crushed peanuts and fruit (yeah, it's gourmet here..lol) I'm unsure how to give them preventative coccidiosis medication. I AM going to get some stuff you put in water and sprinkle around their area to make it hygenic though. Don't tell me I should be still feeding the little blighters chick crumbs though! Have I done wrong? They're getting on for two months now and are eating really well. I have to feed them twice a day.

How long do you keep them on the Amprolium??? I used to use Oxine to treat and prevent EVERYTHING...Is it as safe for peafowl as it is for ducks...It was great for keeping slime out of the waterers...mold and mildew from forming in their houses...Used in a mister it was excellent for treating respiratory ailments...It's wonderful stuff... Also...I worm my ducks with Ivermectin...Can I use that on the peafowl too???
