I do not know what I am doing wrong. Will post facts so far.
1 of 3 turkeys was laying down with head tucked.
Tried dewormer but bird died next day.
Poop was egg yolk yellow diahrea.
Looked up symptoms, said blackhead.
Bought all-cure from fish store.
Treated 1 packet per bird (12lbs-15lbs) orally with shringe per day.
Poop got solid on two birds left.
Stopped after 5 days.
4 day later, after stopping, dark brown gravy type diahrea one bird.
Treated again for 5 days and poop got hard again after 2 days like before.
4 days later brown wattery diahrea again, both birds.
Treated for cocci, as that can have yellow poop as well, I read.
Birds got sicker after 2 days, not eating or drinking, not moving around, heads down, wings dropped one bird.
Just started treating metranidizole (20% powder) 1/2 tsp split by half for both birds. Rough estimate is 1.25grams per bird per day.
UPDATE: 12hrs since treating, one turkey has firm, normal poop, the other doesnt look good, laying down, eyes closed, head tucked, wings drooping.
What am I doing wrong? Why are they getting sick 4 days after
stopping medicine?
Medicines on hand, metranidizole, Baytril, Corrid, Ivermectin, Dectomax (we have a hobby farm).
