Good Point!!! Yes, you are so very right, but let's take this one step further. As Betsy57 said in her post, most hatcheries do try to make sure that their stock is disease free. Try is the operative word. Could a disease be transferred that way? Of course. But, let's look at all of the...

Big time. Instant renal failure.

The next question would be what/how is it toxic. Is it because it doesn't metabolize quickly, which would make some sense, or is it something else? It's like cats, you can't give them asprin right? Not true, you can but only 1/2 of a baby asprin every other day as their systems don't break it...

Thank-you so much from a huge wuss! The procaine thing makes sense as they aren't suppossed to have anything with the 'caine or cane' correct?

Oh good! I'm not alone! Just looking at a needle makes me sick and cold. But it's just like with kids isn't it. We do what we have to and think about it later.

Good to know, thank-you for the info! This morning everyone seems better. I heard a couple of snorts/sneezes, not sure what you'd call them, lol, but for the most part all are bright eyed and bushy tailed. Except for one, but I really thought my Suki was a gonna yesterday. For him to still...

I am adding this separately so you can skip over if you don't need the info here. After replying to your thread and a couple of others wih same symptoms....guess what I went out to find in my own birds? Yup, sneezing, coughing and one young roo opening his mouth slightly to breath. Husband...

Did you use them together or consecutively? I hope they do have it, Duramycin is the first choice, then a more stubborn case you would switch to the Tylan. Call me silly, but I just have a problem with using the hardcore drugs as a first line of defense with these things. I know the way...

Keep your eyes, or in this case, your ears on him. If the rattling doesn't go away in a day or so, or gets worse, please think about Duramycin-10. I know that the Baytril is 'big guns' but it may not be the best thing for what ails him. I'm not even sure you could give another course of the...

More than you wanted to know right? Lol, still, good to know. Also, thanks for the spell check. I really do know the difference, just sometimes the fingers run ahead of the brain, lol.

Avian Mycoplasmosis (Mycoplasma gallisepticum) Pleuropneumonia–like Organism (PPLO) Infection, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Infectious Sinusitis, House Finch Conjunctivitis Last Updated: January 2007 Importance Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most economically significant mycoplasmal...

Here is a perfect example of what you are saying. Last Spring I bought 2 Showgirls and a Silkie from someone at a Tractor Supply Swap. I was assured by a friend that this person takes 'really good' care of her birds. For almost a year, I had no reason to doubt that either. Until recently...

He's a little EE so I would say that's not too far off the mark. I have Ameraucana and the roos are a little slow to develop mass like other breeds. I think yours has a lot more Ameraucana in him than whatever he was bred from. Casportpony is right though, watch the scale. I would also stop...

Hon, don't fret. That's what BYC is all about! We may not always agree, but what family ever does? In the end though, we all want what is best for our birds. I truely hope you will keep this updated!!!!! This is so important. I personaly think you've caught it early and everything will...

I agree about the sneezing. This could be from excessive ammonia to the scent of the shampoo we use on our hair. Who knows about chickens, lol. If it was only sneezing, i would say just watch and see, but with the presence of chest rattles and coughing....nah, this is more. spelling...

Let's back up here a minute and look at this realistically. More home flocks than can be imagined have some of these diseases already. Anyone who tells you their chickens have never been sick is either telling an untruth or not paying attention. Okay? Truth. Now not everyone has Coryza, or...

Why? I am curious as to why you say she should take him back as her hens have already been exposed? Like I said before, this is like closing the barn door after the horse is out. Isn't it better to deal with what you have rather than risk another incident later on? Her hens were exposed...

Sounds like Coryza, but all I know are the symptoms. About the same as MG in that the birds will be carriers and all the same steps would have to be followed with these birds. You may have caught this early enough to keep it from going south on you. Fingers crossed!

PHEW!!! Lol, I was worried there for a minute! Listen to Casportpony. She knows this stuff and I would trust her completely.

Oh thank goodness! The cavalry has arrived!!! I was way over my head with the Baytril! One thing...if I understand this, she is planning to give your rooster 1 shot? And expect him to be cured? No, no, no! This is wrong.
