A tablet is the compressed powder form, whether disc shaped or oval; pill encompasses all forms - tablets, capsules, and all those coated forms of dosages. So, all tablets are pills but not all pills are tablets. Is that why we have a pill box and not a tablet box? Exactly!

Sorry to say yet again Poppy is still not very well!!! She has white watery poops! Vet said to worm her (which I thought I had already done) but with Flubenvet - which I haven't used before. If you could only see the small amount you have to mix with a huge amount of pellets - can you imagine how little I had to mix in water to syringe down her??? I think she got some today, and I put some on the end of a piece of grape and force fed that too. What a performance!!! I will get this chicken back to full health even if it kills me in the meantime!!!
Edit: if you can imagine putting 6gm of Guardian Angel in 3 bags of flour that is about the ratio I am talking about - so heaven knows how much/little goes in a syringe mix!!!

Poor Poppy. Will this never end for her??? You two must have a real love-hate relationship going by now.

We've had another vet consultation on the phone on Monday and today a visit to the vet. Poppy hasn't eaten now for nearly 6 days! She's lost weight of course. Anyway, long story short, she had an injection (Baytril) to bypass the stomach and I have had to put her on some probiotics. We've now got til Monday to see if she recovers otherwise I have to take her back to the vet.
