    What am I doing wrong? o.o

    If I am reading this right, you have a dog that is an attack dog. If she is attacking not on command then she is spoiled. If she is charging and running into legs,surely you see that coming and should be reasy to whack her right before she hits. No, bad dog. At this point, that means you need to...

    Please help, RIR, completely baffled, Im afraid im going to lose her..

    Try baby aspirin and soaked dry cat food and force feed her. She sounds very small at three pounds at 11 months, but the staring fixed eye thing is always a clue to me that she is on her way out. I would be force feeding her a little three times a day, and oral dosing sugar water. I am surprised...

    Can't walk! Broken feet???

    I think things that cause paralysis are Marek's (range paralysis), Newcastle's (one of the four forms), and Botulism. Mycoplasma can cause lameness, but i think you feel heat in the hock. There is some kind of treatment for botulism, i have seen that posted somewhere, using epsom salts in...

    sick peeps. Gape worm? Respiratory?

    Vet Rx is available from Jeffers on line or Smith Poultry and Game supply and probably several others places like that. Since this is happenning in chicks, I suggest that it is mycoplasma infection that is carried in the egg. But it could be coryza, although this seems young for that. Check the...

    So my pullet is a Roo.... now what?

    Quote: Why do you not want fertile eggs, and do you know that once you refrigerate them they are no longer fertile? fertile eggs will come in handy when one of the girls go broody next year.

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    Instructions on the vaccine say to only vaccinate healthy birds. Theoretically since it is designed for chicks, with the kind of 'off label' use to annually to revaccinate or to vaccinate birds in an infected environment, I wouldn't vaccinate a bird I think has had it. If they are recovered from...

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    Good question. I am waiting to see how that plays out myself. The Canadians have a blanket policy of vaccinating with LT-Ivax and quarantining for 30 days, even though that is the non shed, tco vaccine. And that has been in place since the 70's I think. In Maryland, I am vaccinating all my...

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    well guys, in the state of Maryland they offer all kinds of free stuff for poultry and that is because the Eastern shore is home to a huge poultry industry. The dept of Ag has an economic responsibility to protect the export of Maryland poultry. BUT I will just say I will never let the dept of...

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    Mycoplasma can be treated with tylan, and can probably be found in seventy percent of backyard flocks. I cannot believe they would not suggest depopping for ILT and then would for myco.

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    Here is the question i would like you to ask... If you had brought in ceo vaccinated birds and quarantined them for thrity days, is it still possible after you mixed the birds with the general population that they could have shed virus at the next weather change, feed change, molt, 'point of...

    Prelim Necropsy results: ILT MG :( UPDATED July 9 2010

    I am surprised that the AG people are not telling you to depopulate. Before you vaccinate you should put your birds on an anti mycoplasma antibiotic like tylan. And the Lt-Ivax instructions tell you to vaccinate only healthy birds. If they have watery eyes, they already have been exposed and are...
