I know this is an older post, but I was referring back to it because of the mention of using oregano oil. Which oregano oil do you recommend? I did purchase some Ropa poultry complete, but it is quite costly, especially if one plans to use it daily in the waterers. What kind of oregano oil...

I know it has been a while since I have been on byc The holidays and 8 month old infant have kept me very busy..... Along with taking care of my chickens. I have to post an update on my silkie hen. I have some pictures to show her progress. After my last posting I gave her more of the kitten...

Yes, I will be sure to keep you posted. The vetricyn has helped, one eye is almost perfect and the other is not so goopy. His eyes have not been sealed shut in the mornings anymore. I just purchased some nutri-drench.... would this be good to dose him individually? If I am reading the...

Thank you for posting this link, and wow! His eyes look nothing like this..... just runny and kind of bubbly in the corners, can't seem to keep his eyes dry. Not sure what it is I am dealing with as the others are perfectly fine and haven't developed eye symptoms. Whatever he has mustn't be...

Wow! You weren't kidding! I finally got a chance to look at your postings about the mass and the foxtail in the eye..... I don't know if I could have handled something like that! Good job! Really amazing stuff. There does appear as if there may be a little something in one of his sinus...

Thank you Mrs. B. You have been so kind and helpful. I did much research on oxine and how not to use it, it sounds like fantastic stuff, expensive but hopefully worth it. Do you think it would be helpful to fog her with the oxine? Will it kill fungus on skin also? I did read not to mix it...

Thank you Sutremaine, I do have the nystatin 100,000 topical cream..... so you think it would be ok to put it on her skin even if she ingests it? I do put her outside every day to get sunshine and fresh air for several hours, unless it is pouring rain because silkies do not fare well in wet...

Thank you for all of your help. Now I am a bit confused.... is favus the same as trich/canker? The recommended treatment for trich/canker is metronizadole, and I've read that nystatin is good for candida. I've read so much, and all these conditions mimic each other. Then there's the part...

Is it possible that she has a viral infection and a fungal infection?

My little roo has wet kind of crusty stuff around his eyes because they are constantly tearing up and running. I wipe his eyes several times daily. My silkie hen has oily feathers because I have been applying vetryx to her skin to help remove the crusts and peeling skin to make...

Thank You Mrs. Bachbach, I will definitely look into the oregano oil.

Thank you for responding. The chicken run is large chain-linked kennel, not sure of the exact dimensions, but the panels are very high and huge. It was a major undertaking to cover the top with chicken wire to keep the hawks out. The little birds go right in through the chain-links. There...

Yes, they are in an enclosure. Never thought of putting netting over the kennel, it is a large area and it has chicken wire over the top to keep the hawks out. The hawks come and land right on top of the kennel. We have cardinals, hummingbirds, bluejays, crows, catbirds, owls, hawks, wild...

Another interesting symptom both of these birds have.... is a distended or prominent trachea that sticks out much further than the others, making it difficult to feel their crop. I have been reading everything and trying desperately to find out what is troubling my pets. Please any advice or...

Hello, Thank you for your advice. So I wormed with valbazen, treated the 2 as directed for eyeworms, and put everybody on vitamins and electrolytes. They are all doing great except for the 2 birds in question. The eyes cleared up for a few days, but now having problems. 14 week old - rooster...
