Katychick-- How did the treatment work out for your little Silkie?? Please share!

Congrats on your new chicks!!! Their egg color is indeed stunning, too!

Tylan was another med I tried for my birds' CRD (which in their case involves Coryza & I believe MG and other conditions), but it did not seem to help. Different strains of a disease can develop resistance to a particular med, so...

I gave LA-200 injections subcutaneously along with Tetracyclines in the drinking water when I treated my birds for Coryza. One of the three got swollen lumps at the injection sites, but they healed after a week or so. I think...

There are various possible meds for treating respiratory & other illnesses in the Chicken Medicine Chart on the website linked in my sig. I would suggest scrambled egg yolks as a good, nutritious food to try to tempt her...
