Yes, how is Kita doing?
Hi, you can use Calci-boost or Calci-vet, one is a powder and one a liquid. Add 15ml per quart. The following information is from their site.
Thanks!!! I did end up adding Calciboost to her water....it must not taste too good, she shook and shook her little head, but she has been drinking about her normal amountLiquid calcium supplement for molting and growing birds. Calcium deficiencies can lead to egg binding, feather plucking, increased nervousness and death. Calciboost provides the needed calcium, Magnesium and D3 in an easily absorbed form.
Application: In water (10-20 mls per litre) or on soft-food 0.1-0.2 mls per 100g bodyweight. Use the lower doses in hard water areas.
Pack sizes: 100ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1 litre, 5 litres.
Active ingredients: Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Calcium.
Shelf-life: Normally 16-18 months.
My AV said that it is a possiblity that nothing will stop her, Kita really has a strong urge to nest and lay eggs, but no urge to care about the eggs once they are here...... I am going to research all I can.....My AV is good about giving me tons of info and letting me choose what to do.....She has a B&G so I always ask what she would do if it were hers..... she is honest!make sure on the egg binding...if she is only laying two or three cluthes a year, then that is definitely not chronic...lupron is a great alternative..it doesn't always work either..sometimes it works in reverse...but that is just like any medication with any birdie or human...so you should take the chance..nothing, and I do mean nothing works for Sam..
That just tells you that 12 eggs is about her limit and after that she is running out of building material to make eggs. Get her eating very nutrient dense foods (along with the calcium boost) and make sure she stays as fit as possible.she has only laid about 11 or 12 eggs since November, and only 1 has not been completely normal
