If not, inspect for moldy, musty conditions around shelters in the grass and remove source of trouble. Treat birds with soluble vitamin Kin the water Hemorrhages, or bleeding, produces an anemia due to the fact that the blood loss in the bird exceeds the ability of the bird’s mechanism to make new blood The extra soluble vitamin K increases the blood clotting properties. It does not, therefore, treat the basic cause but may prevent some blood loss which removes part of the stress from the bird’s blood making mechanisms.
