quickcluck Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 MY OH is away for a few days now, so any tips? Does it have to be twice a day or can you double up and give it once? Thanks K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Its best to give as per prescribed by your vet. Get a towel and wrap your chook up in it and tuck it under left arm, use left hand to open beak and use right hand to gently squirt meds into mouth. (Reverse arms if you are left handed!)

quickcluck Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks, will bravely give it a go in the morning.... I thought I was doing quite well as i'm new to chook keeping, until there's a hiccup All of a sudden you feel very inadequate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 you will get used to it. if you don't get on with that way you can kneel with her between your legs but i prefer the 1st way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The 1st time I had to give it I injected the Baytril into grapes and gave each chook their dose, 2nd time I did the wrapping in towel and skooshing down their beaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have given it in cubes of bread before now. A bit hit and miss though. The wrap in towel and prize beak open method is probably better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
