antibiotic

Got home from work and found my first lash egg. I immediately ran to TSC. They were out of Tylan but I was able to pick up a broad spectrum antibiotic called Duramycin 72-200. It's injectable though. I'm not sure where to inject it, for how long to treat or who to treat and how much. The...

I have a 2 yr old duck. She started coughing 3 weeks ago. The first week I believed she just was eating her scratch too dry so I stopped putting it on the ground and in a bowl with water. 2nd week I believed it was a cold so I got her poultry booster and hoped it would go away on its own. Then...

We had five chicks that were about three months old. When we moved them outdoors, one of them started dramatically tilting its head to the side. We were worried that it was due to stress from being moved outdoors, so we took her back inside where she had been living before we moved her out. She...

I have a hen who was injured almost two weeks ago by a dog. She had deep wounds and was starting to decline so I put her on some amoxicillin. Does anyone know how long I should keep her on it? It’s been four days and she has shown great improvement. TIA!

I'd like to start a discussion on the implications of antibiotic use, more specifically antibiotic resistance. I think that when treating chickens for diseases, we need to be careful on what antibiotics are used and how often they are used. An antibiotic shouldn't be used as a "general cure"...

Hi everyone! My sweet little D'uccle named LeeLoo was attacked by a red-tailed hawk while i was putting up an extension cord to add a heat to keep the chickens water from freezing. The hawk was no more than five feet away from me when it attacked! I ran the hawk off and was able to save her! I...

Can antibiotics be given to chickens for more than 1 round? If so how do I do it time-wise? I posted in here not too long ago about my sick buff silkie. I gave her Tylan 50 twice a day for a week and she improved. I've also put terramycin opthalmic ointment in her eye for a about a week and a...

Hello! I am not sure if anyone can shed some light on the subject as the vet was none the wiser. My chicken Hilda is lethargic and withdrawn, and shaking head often. Stands in one place most of the day not moving much. Crop and wattle Is still very red, as is face- which is odd. Currently on 10...
