Thank you everyone posting on this subject.
I too am a newbie and did not quarantine 4 Dom pullets bought from Pace FL. I guess I was just so excited I didn't even ask the lady if she might have had any health problems. Now 2 (out of 3) of my "big girls" Australorps are sick. One is sever...
Well Dawg53 yes I live by the beach but A) I hate sand B) sand will not kill roaches or fleas C) I am using it IN the coop on wood where it doesn't wash away in a thunderstorm or um get wet. As I said WOODED LOT.
There is no need to be rude thank you very much on my health choices. I haven't...
****! another one is showing signs of swelling! Sigh so now new questions.
Can they be housed together?
Gonna start her on Tylan too I guess? and
Should I just start putting antibiotics in the group water to control this?
This is the best article I have found for DE. http://www.richsoil.com/diatomaceous-earth.jsp I use it more for pest control in/around my coop then for the health of my birds but I use it in my house for myself (yep eat it) and my dogs (flea control). ONLY GET FOOD GRADE no matter what.
I'll...
Got the cleaning. (of the eye and my hands) Nostril on swollen side is mucky I clean that when I clean the eye. Started Tylan50 on Wednesday so yes less than 48.
I might just be wishful thinking but it does seem to be a fraction less inflamed this morning, not as red and angry looking.
For a...
When should I see a decrease in the swelling? So far there is no noticeable difference, her eye is still swollen shut. Other than a warm soft cloth to keep it clean, is there anything I should be doing to it?
Yes But On Dogs/Cats. Feathers Were A Different Ball Game. Luckily Principle Is The Same. Ive Never Had To Do A Muscle Though Nervous About that. gave her the shot in the "Scruff" of her neck
after I elevated her food and water she did consume on her own. I guess it's a good thing she wasn't...
Got Tylan last night, gave her the shot. (.05 ml) She immediately fell asleep in my arms on her back wrapped in a towel. I put her in the cat carrier so I could clean the dog kennel she turned around and went back to sleep. Slept in it all night (door open, secure in dog kennel. I have really...
Thanks Michael. I Will Try And Get It Tonight I Guess. I Have The Probiotic. Is CRD Something That Never Goes Away? The Bf Is Talking About Putting Her Down...No Disrespect Meant With The Work Statement.
No Odor, No Change This Morning. No Tylan 50. our nearest feed store that carries meds is over an hour away and unfortunately I have to work, So Liquamycin 200 Is Going To Have To Do For Right now.
Swollen runny eye and nostril with coughing. Reading on here got me a bit over whelmed, from the "Cull her" (uh NO) to neosporin in the eye (Good to know, Thank you Dr. Brian!) however, I ended up getting the only thing they had at the Co-op, Liquamycin LA-200.
Found the post that said how...
I hope its normal because mine lose feathers too. They're 2 months old. Are you getting them outside yet? My girls are in a dog kennel too. I put the bottom pan on top for a roof then they can scratch ground. At first I wrapped it with some hardware cloth and zip tied it in place so they could...
