Guest Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 is there anything in this... http://www.melianpetsupplies.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86_142_143&products_id=470&zenid=r1t1b84545v5t16t3qo2a19jd5 that would be toxic to chickens? Bea's legs are very bad today, she can't stand at the moment. I have some raisins soaking in hot water and about 4 drops of this but I want to dble check before I give it to her. It's herbal so should be okay shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 actually, I've just googled and the first 2 ingredients are in lifeguard poultry tonic so must be safe, can't find anything about poultry and Boswellia serrata though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggalp Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi Poet, im not an expert but i would give that to my chickens if necessary - as you say its herbal, so i wouldn't expect that it can do any harm, just like the Bachs Rescue Remedy Hope it offers Bea some relief.

K-F-C Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Seems as though you've advised another member to use it for arthritis back in Dec '08... so try her with some cherries, if you can't get fresh then try some tinned ones, they're good for arthritis.... or try some 'phytopet ease' you can get it on-line, just halve the dose recommended for rabbits/cats http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36096&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'd forgotten about that, thanks for highlighting it! Better follow my own advice then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 A drop of cod liver oil might help too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was told that some herbals can be every bit as potent/dangerous as synthetic meds - but this was in reference to Chinese herbal remedies for human use, and the fact that they were unregulated at the time. Personally, I'm for herbals. Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
