A Accolyte:Things have been pretty good here, just riding out the rainy season, although a while ago our neighbour had to take down a huge tree, which resulted in a deep crack forming on the edge of our land. S we've had to fill that with rocks.
-
A Accolyte:The garden is progressing nicely, got our first radishes, cabbages and salad leaves, although I think the rain has done for my tomatoes. STill thinking about building and the location for a new raised bed.

I live about 12hrs North of Brisbane, so we're not really feeling anything. I have talked to Mark, though the video uploaded yesterday covers it. I hope all goes well for Brisbane and surroundings. Items can be replaced, people cannot!+2

B Benny983:Hello, everyone. I'm here because I watched this guy's youtube video on treating chickens and quail with topical ivermectin. However, I cannot find where to buy this stuff. I see it on Amazon for cattle in a bottle that is 5mg per 1mL. If my calculations are correct, assuming my quail are about 1/2 pound, that means I should administer 0.023mL of that solution to get their dosage correct. How are we supposed to measure out 0.023mL, or 23mcL. Are there even droppers that measure out microliters? I assume that's probably too high a concentration to be applying to the skin at all, and that what I have to do is mix it in some water and apply it diluted in water. That of course makes it much more difficult to ensure the proper dosage.
-
B Benny983:So, it would be better if I could buy some ivermectin that is formulated already for treatment of poultry that already comes in a much more diluted concentration.

Grandmother Goose:
Hey Benny, welcome. Ever since a certain misinformation campaign went around in 2020 promoting ivermectin for things it can't do (except increase someone's stock shares), some places have restricted the sale of ivermectin to stop gullible people from sending themselves and their kids to heaven in stupid ways. Try your local veterinarian. They should be able to provide you with a correct type/dose/strength of ivermectin, be able to give you solid information about its correct use, effectiveness, risks, and side effects, and give you information about any other products that have more recently come onto the market that might be better to use. Veterinary medicine is constantly improving, it's always worth checking in now and then to see what new things are available.+2 -
Mandy Onderwater:
Thank you for answering his question regarding ivermecting dosage for poultry. Sadly that was a spam account, hiding links in messages.+1

Mark and his family are doing well - he's planting more seeds, taking advantage of the rain!+1

To my knowledge, only 1 person has not made it though; showcasing the importance of "If it's flooded, forget it". Terrifying and my thoughts are with his family.

Mandy Onderwater:
Other than material and animal loss, it seems like they are recovering well. I think that in a few years time, you wouldn't even know it's happened.
