    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    Maybe keep the BHT going in small doses to make sure it's still circulating. How long has he been sick? I can see the bump on my chickens leg, but she's too fast to catch, so I haven't attended to it. I'm still mixing b vitamins into their "meatballs". I'll try catching her on the roost...

    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    Good on you for trying everything, I'm beginning to understand that with chickens you have to have a stockpile of knowledge on hand. Look into hulda clarke's zapper, that's probably the theory he's using. Great to hear he's doing a little better, it's so stressful looking after a chicken...

    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    Also re: electrodes, that's a special vet you've got!! My dad used to make his own zappers, fun times! I had a 5 yr old ISA brown recently come down with some crazy neurological thing. She couldn't walk in a straight line, I think blind in one eye. Her head kept moving like when you spin...

    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    I would approach BHT sparingly. I sprinkled a few granules on a small amount of meat and fed it to the chicken. Apparently it can be cumulative in the fat tissues, so I wouldn't treat the chicken for too long. I viewed this as a situation where I've got nothing to lose, so make sure you feel the...

    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    No prescription. It's a food preservative, but there has been some controversy, but also a lot of relief for people suffering from various viral infections. http://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/BHT.html I bought it from iHerb years ago, it seems to go in and out of stock, my one is quite old as...

    Treating Marek's/viruses with BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)

    Hi all, I've got a chicken who I suspect is affected by Marek's. Would it be worth treating her wit BHT, which has been shown to help with Newcastle virus, and has been highly effective in destroying the lipid coating of the herpes virus in humans. Her symptoms are limping/hopping, appears...
