@Kathy when you give the chicks this is it a liquid? Pill? Or shot? I have a hen with some sort of a sinus infection. I took her to a vet and she seemed very reluctant to give me any antibiotic at all. We have had her in vet Rx but she isn't drinking much? She seeems to be getting worse and I am desperate for an answer. Her eyes have the bubbly white film coming out of the eye I try to wipe and keep clean. She did give me a petroleum like based eye ointment for her eyes but the sloshing/slurping noise she makes when she shakes her head is getting worse. And she seems snotty? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated -Kris[COLOR=333333]Here are some pictures of my first ever sinus infection. Chick weight - 800 grams.

The baytril I use is liquid, and it can be given by injection or orally. Call your vet back and ask them if they will sell you some Baytil. -Kathy@Kathy when you give the chicks this is it a liquid?

Kathy if I got the Baytril 10% from the site you suggested can I give it in a siringe? It says to add to her water but I don't think she's getting enough? Thanks ahead
It needs to e given orally. How much does she weigh? 6 lbs
-Kathy
Quote: If she weighs six poounds the amount many people would give is 0.27 ml twice a day.
