Cpuzz I took my chooks to the avian vet today. I was up all night worrying , He doesn't think it's coryza phew!!! He told me to keep the 4 unwell birds quarantined for 1 month and give them Trimidine-sulfadimidine 430mg/g , trimethoprim 86mg/g 1/2 teaspoon in 3 litres of water daily for 10 days. He was surprised to hear that people might consider culling when they only have small holdings. Some of his clients have thousands of birds , in which case he would recommend culling anything under par. But in my case I only have 40 fancy birds , much easier to manage even if it was coryza! He also keeps birds and is originally from your neck of the woods.
By the way , I found that after 24 hrs on the cephalexin the original symptoms had all but cleared up.i only had capsules 500mg so I emptied cap into a tbsoon added water dissolved the powder and divided into 4x syringes(without needle) and administed straight into their beaks.
Thanks to your thread I was on top of it very quickly (with the cephalexin ) so cheers !!!! & thanks.
