Kaeco Selenium And Vitamin E Gel - 30 Ml

You need to keep this on hand if you have a flock of backyard chickens because wry neck happens and the quicker you catch it, the quicker your bird gets better. I had a bird with wry neck and had never heard of it. I noticed this Happy little rooster of mine was off balance and not able to eat well, but he didn’t have the usual strange and obvious signs of wry neck. Only in holding him and checking him out several times was I able to isolate the problem to a very stiff neck, but by the time I had it figured out, he had been Ill for a few weeks and he was struggling. I brought him inside and did a deep search and found this supplement and started him on it. It took a good two weeks for him to show real positive signs of getting better. So please don’t give up if your chicken doesn’t bounce back in 48 hours. Holding his neck in that stiff manner became a habit and I believe his inner ear was affected. He has a weak side and was naturally wary of being with the flock, trying to hide and mask his symptoms. This is precisely why I watch my birds go in the coop each night and why I feed tiny bread scraps once a day. It’s the only way to truly notice when free range chickens are not doing well. It gives you a chance to look over each one as it moves and interacts with the other birds. Sick chickens tend to hide and mask so this is vitally important if you care about each of your birds. It if my belief he suffered a trauma that caused him stress, and that stress caused a severe drop in selenium and vitamin E, which is what cures wry neck. A month out and he is out and happy and growing with the gang. Luckily, he loves the taste of the goop and eats it right off the end of the syringe. I started with a fair amount as a loading dose along with selenium and vitamin E rich foods, and just kept at it. I kept him in a carrier during the day but outside so he could move and use the weak side, and see his gang without being subject to getting picked on. I ended up purchasing 3 tubes of this medicine and I always keep it on hand now, to give to stressed birds and in case of another wry neck case. Leaving it in the fridge works to keep it solid enough so they can eat it off your finger or the end of the syringe. I don’t have goats so I have no idea how well it works for goats, but this company would be wise to package and market this item for chickens with wry neck as well as its original use, because it really does the job. If your chicken has wry neck and it takes you a while to notice, chances are good that her is under-feed and also thirsty and you may have to help him initially. I also added nutridrench to his water, but I spread this product on small pieces of bread initially to get it down him when swallowing was difficult. I think wry neck is a very uncomfortable condition for anyone. Humans can get it, too, but it I’d not contagious from bird to bird or bird to humans, so no worries. You can’t catch it, but chickens have dirty feet and you should wash your hands carefully after handling your chickens. My bird presented with an off center tail, an S type of bend in his neck and leaning heavily to one side with a seemingly weak leg. I focused on his feet initially but that was just a symptom. It took careful handling and really feeling a healthy rooster to find out where the problem was. Owning chickens is fun and interesting. But, you get some strange issues that pop up and the more chickens you have, the higher the chances of problems arising. So do yourself a favor and keep this on hand as a first line of defense. I’ll never be without it again. It’s incredibly gratifying to diagnose and treat a sick bird and have it respond to your tender care. I don’t think he would have gotten better the way he did with just a dietary change and vitamin supplements. I believe this product kept my bird alive, and I’m grateful because he’s a sweet guy and I love my roosters. They keep my hens safe and well fed and protected. This rooster comes and stand by me every day in the hopes that I’ll get out the butterscotch pudding flavored medicine and give him a little nibble. Chickens need continuous dosing for about 3 months even when they seem better or are completely cured, so he gets a few cm of this product every few days. I let the other chickens have a little nibble so they don’t get jealous if they want it. Just be mindful that while selenium is water soluble and therefore your chicken cannot overdose on that mineral, vitamin E is fat soluble and you do not want to give too much of it to your chickens. Just be smart and use your common sense.

I have a chronic wry neck special needs chicken and she LOVES the taste of this, I don’t even have to help her eat it. She will happily gobble it up.

This arrived quickly and our turkey seemed to like the flavor which makes it easy to administer. The lid is secure and it is fairly easy to squeeze. He was showing signs of a deficiency and within 24 hours had made a rapid improvement.

A must have on the farm

Good item to have on hand for your chickens. I already used it twice on my girls. When they’re feeling sluggish or not up to par. Give him a little boost of vitamins and selenium. I would buy again price is good for quality and quantity

I used one 400iu vitamin e capsule, 1/4-1/2 super b complex, and a pea size of this to treat my rooster with an extreme case of wry neck. I used the vitamins 2x a day, but this paste only once a day in the morning. He was like new by day 11. I HATE that there is dye in this, it is going to a farm animal, and is completely unnecessary. Heads up to the company, a lot of people don't like dyes and artificial flavoring. It doesn't matter who is consuming it. If I saw another company with a product similar to this, without those things and was more expensive, I would go with them instead.

Great for wry neck in chickens, works.

I used product on my ducks who couldn't get up and neck was looking like it was broken. They were better after a few days, and up walking after a week. Great product
