I am so thankful to BYC and all the advice and support I recieved from everyone. Thank you!
I have a friend who has lost 2 young chickens to fowl pox just last week. When I noticed one of my 8 weeker buffs with fowl pox I panicked. BYC helped me to stay calm and do what needed to be done. BB (bathroom buff) was quickly blinded in one eye due to swollen eyelid and pox and she stopped eating and drinking and just sat there.
Because of all the advice and support .....this is what I did...
Pray Pray and Pray again.... then
vaccinated every chicken in the flock starting with the healthiest all the way down to the sickest..... BB
Neosporin NO PAIN RELIEVER on pox as much as possible
Polyvisol infant vitamin NO IRON 3 drops in beak twice a day
Hot water and 4 TBS of HONEY mixed well and added to Quart of WATER fed with eye dropper several times a day
Hot Water/Honey mixture added to dry chicken food fed with Qtip several times a day
Canned Cat Food with Qtip--- Yogurt with Qtip
-----------
within 3 hours of eyedropping Honey water.... BB was drinking water on her own.....
within 24 hours of Qtip feeding HONEY water mixture chicken food......she is now also eating on her own and has more energy.
I know we are not out of the woods, but BB is going to be fine. She still has one good eye and hopefully after the Pox is gone her other eye will heal normally too. This is a true success story and a testimony to one of the great things BYC is good for...
Thanks again everyone!
