    This is a nice tutorial. Please include this precaution:
    You should always pull back on the syringe and gently release to add medication if no blood comes into the tube. If blood enters, immediately take out the needle. Accidentally Injecting medication like Tylan 50 into a vein will result in shock/ lameness and death within seconds to minutes.

      What size needle do you recommend for tylan? And amount for 5 pound chicken? Or what amount did you use and what does your chicken weigh? And how often? If can't answer all please just share the needle size please. 🙏🫤🐔♥️

    Thanks so much for this video! Everything I needed to see was really clear. My hen just got some intramuscular injections prescribed to her today, and our vet couldn't show us in person how to do it because of pandemic restrictions. This makes me much more confident!

    My silkie hen has been battling a respiratory infection, sniffing, slight gaping, and sneezing. I tried VetRx, garlic, ACV, which do help to an extent, but sometimes you need medical intervention. I was elated to find that my feed store has LA-200 for cattle and swine. Tylan is near impossible to find. Anyway, I gave her the first dose of LA-200, and it's crazy how immediate she started to feel better. She literally laid an egg an hour later, and she hasn't laid in weeks! I had to throw away her egg though, as it's not recommended to eat them during treatment. But if there's one indication that the body is happy, it's the ability to lay eggs!!

      20g should be good maybe the needle was a little dull? Make sure you’re injecting into the breast muscle if you want an intramuscular injection, to the side of the breast bone. Alternating breasts each time you need to do an injection. It will be under their crop. Some birds are very thin and under the skin could be your best option

      24 gauge, small is best. About a half inch, enough that you’re in there but not too far to hit their bone, just into the breast. Usually my boyfriend holds the bird or I’ll just do it quickly while they are perching on a roost bar and I’ll angle it up torwards their wing as I’m crouching down to see clearly underneath the bird. You can go straight in as well. You’ll see what works best for you it’s easier than it looks you’ll be a pro in no time

      I do not know about that but when I have dealt with dehydration in chickens I use an oral irrigating syringe & administer it orally. You can add electrolytes to the water as well. If you drip water on the side of their beak it will usually pool up a little and they will swallow. They can aspirate easily so don't go too fast. but do a little and watch them swallow & then do a little more. If they are not drinking on their own you will have to do this often till they are feeling better enough that they are eating & drinking on their own. good luck with your chickens hope they feel better soon

    Normally I'd be very confident in giving an injection, but with injuries to the body, I want to make sure I can give the injection correctly and in the areas that aren't injured/disturbed.
    Nothing is worse than a hesitant administrator. Having to stick more than once is traumatic for both I'm sure.

      Thanks for the pointer on nutrition for healing.
      I fed her just yolk the first day and a bit of fruit for sugar (to help with shock) . She gobbled it up in seconds. Now I'm giving the whole egg, some BOSS & a bit of regular feed too; greens as a treat after her injection. She still has a great appetite, drinks well, and is even laying eggs still. Ican't believe it. All good signs I assume.
      The challenge I've got now is she is starting to smell a bit. Not infection smell, just bird smell and a little bit of dirty bottom for obvious reasons since she's in confinement. I have her quiet in a very small carrier (on purpose). I wanted her very quiet until her course of meds is over, so I know she really can't clean/ preen herself.
      I guess I'll have to just let her take a dust bath & hope she doesn't get too much grime in her wounds. Or is it smarter to just let her be smelly for a few more days?

    • @BockBockBouquet
      @BockBockBouquet  3 года назад

      That’s a GREAT sign! If they eat and drink they will survive, stay alive & definitely get better when there’s the will to live she will heal. If there’s poo stuck to her bottom I would wash it off or cut the feathers off. Staying in a calm dark place away from others while she’s getting over the traumatic incident is ideal, then she won’t deal with pecking order stress. On the dust bathing... how large is her wounds? If they are open I would say no, if they are scabbed up I would say it’s okay for her to at that point

      @@BockBockBouquet
      Ok. I'll touch them to feel for stabbing. If they're are scabs, I'll let her dust. If not, I'll wait. Baby wipes for the bottom... and what's a few more feathers trimmed on her bum??? 😆
      Long description of wounds:
      The sizes of her wounds vary. Unfortunately, the use of blue coat makes observing healing a bit challenging.
      She's a mid size bird (Ameriaucana x Leg) so that doesn't help either. A larger, fattier bird may have faired better. But maybe they wouldn't have escaped either. Lol
      There are a mix of skin tears and puncture wounds; but thankfully no flaps or large muscle damage.
      The largest skin tear is located on one of her legs. It is about the size of a hazelnut. Large in comparison to her leg, but smaller overall. Due to location (& lack of fat there), her muscle is exposed. The skin is connected along the edge, so I assume this was a feather snatch situation; quick & straightforward. Others are much smaller and concentrated one popular 'grab sites, like the tail. So they appear more like abrasions.
      She does have a larger accumulation of punctures. These are most concerning of course. I know they were not deep enough to penatrate her lungs or she wouldn't have survived even an hour. So that is good. We all know that this is the kill shot for the fox; a good grab (and hold) between the wings across the back, along the rib cage, punctures the lungs and retains the integrity of the food itself. Keeps it clean and closed from flies & maggots for storage as well. In any case, there are multiple bites in this 'zone'. I assume there was more than one 'grab' but never any good contact. A quick release to escape, once the dogs were on them. Some small tears over a few of the punctures. This area was the only area to really bleed. Not necessarily a good thing.
      Because her lung area was compromised, I went with oxytetracycline vs simple penicillin. I'm no pharma whiz so I hope my (untrained) thoughts don't bite me in the butt. But if it's strong enough for a kid pulled dam, I figure it's strong enough for this. 🤷‍♀️
      Minor scrapes from bramble/underbrush/ect. & probably some bruises from my dog's soft mouth hold/pin on her until I could reach them. He is usually very gentle (even retrieving escaped chicks & poults, without his help, I wouldn't have found her ever) but she was fighting pretty hard to get away.

I’m not a vet so I’d hate to give the wrong advise, but make sure you keep the wounds clean, I’m not sure if she needs stitches in some spots but superglue can work wonders. I’m not the biggest fan of blukote but it can do the job, I like antiseptic and wound dust. The non pain relief neosporin. She needs time, if she makes it through this beginning hurdle it’s a good sign she’ll make a full recovery. The shock they go through can be the worst part

    Hi, thanks for producing this video. It is very helpful that you gave additional injection points for lighter chickens. Have you ever put down a chicken by injecting medication? If so what did you use? Thanks. (I know about Cervical Dislocation, but just prefer doing an injection)

      ​@@BockBockBouquet Hi, As it turns out, there is a vet at our church and I talked with him for some time about it. But please use care and do some of your own research before using this info.
      He said the AVMA approved the normal cervical dislocation and decapitation (no surprise) And YES, The drugs are strictly controlled. But he said IF you could inject into a vein, you could use potassium chloride (not controlled). I then asked, well could you just inject PC into the chicken's heart? And he said, yes, IF you could be sure you get the heart, it likely would be painless. Otherwise, if the PC goes 'nearby' the heart its going to be a much slower process. Again, please don't quote me on this, I just am sharing as I struggle with best methods for putting down our chickens should they be suffering.

    Since younger chicks don’t have much tissue as you mentioned, is the method you normally use subcutaneous? I’m debating on doing my own fowl pox vaccines and some others and see they can get vaccinated as young as 8 weeks! I’m just a little nervous about it since they are/will be so small still but since they’ll be outside at that point their risk to being exposed to mosquitoes and other things is very high in my area.

    • @BockBockBouquet
      @BockBockBouquet  3 года назад

      Yes subcutaneous will be much easier just poke the needle under a piece of loose skin careful not too deep to poke any bone. For how small they are the dosage should be small just make sure you have correct dosage and youll be fine

    • @BockBockBouquet
      @BockBockBouquet  3 года назад

      Good things he’s eating , make sure he’s drinking too. Is there anything broken? Give him a round of antibiotics, keep the wound clean with an antiseptic and stop the bleeding with a wound dust (wonder dust) if it hasn’t already. You can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin but just make sure it’s the kind without the pain relief in it. You can also use hydrogen peroxide or raw honey. Keep him separate in a hospital pen till better so he doesn’t get picked on. He’ll need time and you’ll have to keep the wound clean and treated once or 2x daily. Without seeing it I’m not sure of it needs to be bandages or stitched up but on most cases that’s not necessary. Try feeding him scrambled eggs. Sorry about your baby ❤️

    • @BockBockBouquet
      @BockBockBouquet  3 года назад

      Sometimes this can happen, it shouldn’t next time better luck next time. If happens again don’t continue injecting, just remove needle and try again in different spot. When you check that spot again later it should have absorbed by now and I wouldn’t worry about it she will be okay. That’s more of a subcutaneous injection instead of intramuscular (into the muscle) for a better subQ you can administer under the skin at the base of the neck on their back by shoulder blades there is a lot of loose skin usually there, or armpit

    Hello, my chicken was injured by a racoon in the early months of summer...I kept her away by herself and cleaned her leg and removed the fly larvae that kept getting in her foot and leg...it healed nicely and the bottom part fell off as it never recovered...but now, she is fine and likes to hop around in the grass looking for bugs ...except today there was blood in her shavings...I picked her up and the bone (1/2 " from the joint) from her missing leg was bleeding...so I first dipped her in some Epsom salt bathwater and it was still bleeding...my husband told me to put flour on it to stop the bleeding...but, it kept bleeding so I wrapped her in a dry towel and put some newskin on the bone and wrapped it in gauze and taped it...I set her back in her nest and hoping to find her awake in the morning...but I am afraid she lost too much blood...about a drop every 5 min...but I am also concerned about the sharp bone...can it be removed ?

    • @BockBockBouquet
      @BockBockBouquet  2 года назад

      I am so sorry to hear about your poor lady. An avian vet is recommended. Cornstarch material or wound dust sold as pet supplies will stop the bleeding better than flour. Epsom salt may not feel well on an open wound but an iodine solution or antimicrobial wound spray can be used to clean the wound. She’ll need to be separated while healing in a hospital area to prevent being bullied by the rest of the flock. Without seeing the wound it’s hard to say online the best course to take in healing or if euthanasia is recommended. So sorry my heart hurts for you wish we could be more help ❤️

      Use .20 CC per pound (5lb chicken = 1CC). Inject into breast approx 1/4 inch deep ONCE. Do not inject another dose until day 3! This is a broad spectrum antibiotic that does not begin to dissipate until day 3. On day three give another dose of LA-200 according to the dosage above and do not give anymore

      Hello I wouldn’t worry about it, baby chicks can be vaccinated for Mareks disease but I think they are too old for that now. Some hatcheries offer this service when ordering chicks. We’ve had many unvaccinated chickens for years and it’s always been fine. Just be careful about adding new chickens from other peoples flocks that could possibly bring disease. Quarantine new birds before adding and always check that your not buying birds from diseased visibly sick flocks from breeders locally. Keep the coop and their water clean, good diet, and always check your flock is healthy as you would any pet :)
