Do you take your dogs to this vet?

Coccidia is a “normal” part of the intestinal flora in chickens. It is when they can’t be kept controlled by the immune system they become a problem, that’s why coccidiosis is generally a disease (and a bad one) of young chickens. Their presence in a fecal sample does not warrant treatment. Not...

Criminal sociopaths? Really? Because of what one vet charged you? I am sorry this one vet charged you so much for this euthanasia but painting them all with such a wide brush is unfair at best. Vets are medical doctors who make a fraction of the money physicians make. Honestly this kind of...

He lives in a flock with 8 hens and has done a great job protecting them and is a proven dad--we have a few of his...

You would have to take some of his fresh feces to a vet and get them to check it. Worms are not generally shed in the feces, but their eggs are. They are very microscopic so you need some special equipment. First things first, I'd get him checked before you give him any more drugs. Whatever is...

Have you done a fecal flotation?
