She’s very curious. Somethings running afoul with two temperamental turkeys this morning. Hey, what’s going on? How are you? I’m good. Hey, who do we got here? That’s Ralph. Ralph. And this is Penny. Ralph and Penny. Hey, Ralph how are you? So they have had really loose stools recently. Hey, what’s going on? Oh, you’re a nipper, huh? Ralph and Penny. They’re my babies. I love them. So are you, like, raising turkeys? I love it. They’re so cool, too. They’re like dogs. This would be your biting dog. Yeah. He’s a guard dog. He’s a guard dog, and she is so sweet. She’s gorgeous. Gorgeous. Just because they’re a turkey doesn’t mean that there are any less important than a dog or a cat. They all have personalities and emotions, and they’re just a great, great pet. Think about it. So, face looking at, you know, about What do they usually eat, they’ve been eating the all game feed pellets. They’ve been eating pretty good. They have. These nice and muscled up Looks good. Hey. So how many total turkeys do you have? Ten. 10!. Counting these two. All right, we’ve got some fresh poop in here. Some fresh poop, its a nice sample. Oh, sorry. No, you’re fine. Get some one to clean. I’ll be right back. Diarrhea definitely can be quite serious. In the turkey avian species, they got to stay hydrated. If they don’t get hydrated, the organs start to shut down, and it can be a really, really bad thing. The reverend painted a colorless go to their chest. Sounds fine, but they has some pretty yellow, discolored diarrhea, so I’m very concerned. Right now, we are running fecals and examining to see exactly if we have any parasites or if there’s something else going on. All right. We’ve got some answers. Okay. Yeah. Whip worms. And we also have coccidia Oh, no. Yeah coccidia can go through the whole flock. So that is what is going on. I’m glad you brought it in. Yeah, I’m glad I brought him here. Whip Worm is a type of worm hooks up in the intestine, and it just sucks blood until the animal becomes anemic, gets dehydrated, and die. Coccidia on the other hand is a type of protozoa, but it also is very serious and easily can kill these fowl. So we got to get this fixed and fixed fast. All right. You want Mr. Ralph or Penny? Ralph. All right. We’ll go ahead and give these guys their first dose of this coccidia medicine. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. He acts like its tasty. Yeah. He didn’t peck you I need to give these guys on some anti protozoan medicines, as well as some dewormer. I’m also going to send enough home for the whole flock because this is a good chance that if Ralph and Penny have coccidia and whip worms. The whole flock has coccida and whip worms. That tastes good, huh? You want to take you can’t take the whole syringe Can you let my syringe go? Thank you. So you think they’ll be okay? I think they should be. All right, guys. Now that we found out the culprit, she. You can take care of the flock at home. so I’m feeling pretty good about their prognosis. Well, thank you so much. So we’ve got in control. We wanna get you labels on this, and you begin hey. Thank you. All right. Dr. Hodges, he’s just so awesome that. And I’m so thankful I brought him in today, because it can be really bad if I didn’t treat them. your ready. Go home, huh?
