    Sour Crop Treatment with Topical Miconazole Nitrate?

    Thanks for the reply. Before I posted I checked a pdf of the package insert for Monistat7 online in order to compare the inactive ingredients with the product I have. I already know the active ingredients are the same, it’s the inactive I am unsure of because that’s where they differ. I know...

    Sour Crop Treatment with Topical Miconazole Nitrate?

    Even the cream made specifically for external use? I read that article in its entirety and all the comments before I posted (it’s great, and bookmarked now,) but I also saw elsewhere that someone’s vet told them not to use the topical cream internally. I imagine the inactive ingredients could...

    Sour Crop Treatment with Topical Miconazole Nitrate?

    Hello BYC My two year old Ameraucana, Betty, has a very bad case of sour crop. I have a tube of generic Miconazole Nitrate made to treat athletes foot. It says External Use Only and call poison control if ingested. I have found contradictory guidance on BYC as to whether use of topical...

    Advanced Bumblefoot

    Thanks for the advice! I will order some PRID. Do you think I should still apply the Silvadene along with the PRID, or just the PRID? I also have vetericyn and triple antibiotic (without pain relief). I already have some aquamox in the chicken first aid kit. I haven’t used it before so I’ll go...

    Advanced Bumblefoot

    Thanks for the links and taking the time to respond! I will check them out. I did research how to treat it at home when this all started but I was too anxious about hurting her with my inexperience so opted for the vet. However, it may well come to that. Yes, the mass between her toes is rock...

    Advanced Bumblefoot

    Hello BYC! My Ancona hen, Sergeant Pepper, has been fighting a case of Bumblefoot since last December. She’s about 18 months old. (That’s her in my profile pic at around 5 weeks; she’s my favorite!) For fear of causing more harm than good I opted to take her to a local avian vet to have the...

    *UPDATE* Hen pecked off half her toe, advice needed

    In early April one of my hens pecked off the top half of her toe. In May I posted here to ask for advice as the bone was still exposed. Here is a link to the original post with pictures of the toe’s condition at that time...

    HELP! Is this Coccidiosis?! (poop pics attached)

    I dewormed with Valbazen recently (last month), and I’m hesitant to do it again so soon. I haven’t seen any worm sign. If it‘s just intestinal lining should I dose with Corid anyway to be safe?

    HELP! Is this Coccidiosis?! (poop pics attached)

    I did give a second dose after 10 days, but I suppose they could be infected again. I sure hope not, that 17 day egg withdrawal period after the last dose (plus the 10 days between doses) was brutal! Soo many wasted eggs!

    HELP! Is this Coccidiosis?! (poop pics attached)

    Thanks for the quick reply! That was my initial thought since there wasn’t any blood but I wanted to be sure. I spotted roundworms in a poop about the middle of last month so I dosed the flock with Valbazen and haven’t seen any more since, but I’ll keep an eye out.

    Hi All!

    My name‘s Billy and I started keeping chickens last August. It’s the first time I’ve done it, and I’m having a blast. I have fourteen hens right now that I raised from chicks (they were 15 but one turned out to be a rooster and they‘re illegal where I live, unfortunately.) It’s a mixed flock...

    HELP! Is this Coccidiosis?! (poop pics attached)

    I spotted the poop this morning in the coop. Three days ago one of my RIRs was acting a bit off (listless, self-isolating, not eating and scratching with the others), but she’s been fine and back to normal behavior the last two days. No idea which hen left this poop, and no one else has any...
