@Colleen Kinzie she asked if you can switch him to chick feed for a bit and if you are able to take his temp.

@Colleen Kinzie she says chick food will move through him easier. Also the additional calcium in layer feed can bung them up. She doesn't think its vent gleet at all. Thinking he has an infection which is why she asked about getting a temp.

From what I understand tetracycline doesn't do much. You need to get a ton built up in their system to have any effect.

Omg I can’t believe I got prep H for my rooster.
So when I insert the tube. How do I know I am squeezing enough inside him?? Also how far do I insert applicator. How many times a day?
Thanks!

@Colleen Kinzie When I use it I squeeze out some from the applicator and go only just inside so as not to damage the swollen area. ANy further delving I do gently with a finger.
