    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    Sorry about the blank post - #49 & #51, I think it is a problem with the pictures loading. I will have some help after school today so maybe I can get them posted then.

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    I have been treating with Corid. I have done 3 series with it and then have just been treating every day for a while. She did not have anything possitive to say about Corid. But she did not check for worms. She did look for lice and mites, they are clean of them.

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    I don't think that sounds harsh. Funny you should suggest that, one died the day I went to the vet and I took it also. She said she does not treat dead animals. I said I brought it in case she would want to cut it open and she said no. We have disposed of it now. I am going to call the state...

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    They get sick one at a time. There are more than three birds that are currently affected. She did not give me any information about Megabacteria, only said that was what it was, and I am questioning her diagnosis now after reading online. Also, if Megabateria is not a bacteria but a fungus, it...

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    Caution, graphic pictures. So the Vet said that this is Megabacteria,to be treated with Baytril. I looked in the microscope and there were large curvy lines, but after looking online, Megabacteria is "rod" like and not a bacteria but a fungal. So now I don't think the Vet actually knows. It...

    Buying Baytril - Buyer Beware

    We have a flock of egg layers that has slowly diminished from 19 to 12. I have used Corid because the feed store recommended it and then oxytetracycline because that was also recommended. Went to a Vet yesterday and was disappointed in the visit, she does not do flock therapy! Gave me enough...

    one dead chicken and 3 more with bloody vents need help

    Thanks for your input. I don't think this is vent pecking, although the other chickens are pecking at the affected chickens. I've been reading and I think it is coccidiosis. Looks like I didn't find it quickly, so I will go to the feed store and get the corid to treat. We will see what...

    one dead chicken and 3 more with bloody vents need help

    The boys went out to feed and gather eggs and one hen in dead with a gaping bloody vent. After taking her out I noticed that two others have bloody backsides and noticed that it is coming from their vents. One more looks like it might just be starting. I haven't been out for a few days, but...
