    How long to quarantine after suspected fowl pox?

    Our rooster, who was on his death bed from what I am suspecting was wet fowl pox has finally recovered. He's been feeling good for about 5 days now, has got his "voice" back, and is no longer wheezing. He's been eating well for several days, and is very unhappy that he's been separated so long...

    Help PLEASE! Rooster Wheezing and Internal Parasites in Flock with videos/pictures

    UPDATE: Thank you to all who offered support/advice. Our rooster is improving! He is going to pull through! After 3 weeks of misery, I thought there was no hope. But the past 3 days he has been doing 10x better than he was. He is eating, drinking, breathing without wheezing, and is working...

    I forgot to say in my last post that the marks on his comb looked just like the pock marks in that last photo you posted. This is good to know for future reference!

    Thank you for the photos and links. I ordered the Fish Zole and it is supposed to arrive today. It is a tablet - do I crush and mix with water in a syringe to give it? I wormed our entire flock yesterday with the Zimectrin Gold and will do it again in 10 days. Thankfully, all of our other...

    Thank you all for the responses. I should have mentioned the black comb appearance - we had sprayed him with BluKote because we thought the other chickens kept pecking him. Now I'm wondering if perhaps he had fowl pox? He kept getting black scabs all over his comb, but I never actually saw...

    Thank you for the response. The online vet saw the videos and photos and didn't believe he could have gapeworm, as she hasn't seen a case in our area in the 8 years she has been here. He is getting worse, not better. I did 2 doses of Ivermectin 10 days apart and I still saw the larvae/worms...

    Can anyone help? My poor rooster is going on 3 weeks like this, and is getting weaker by the day. The online vet wasn't very helpful with her one line responses. She thought he had tapeworms and a foreign body obstruction, but gave no advice on how to treat either. He has had 2 doses of...

    I have a 2 year old RIR Rooster who began displaying respiratory symptoms about 2 weeks ago. His crow sounded hoarse at first. A week ago, he started having breathing troubles, wheezing really bad, he sounded like something was lodged in his throat. That same day, I was able to inspect a...
