Preparing to treat my flock with elector psp for mites. It's 57 now with a low of 44 tonight - too cold to spray the hard to catch hooligans at roost tonight?
Asid
Aside from the puffed up stance, what other "sickly" symptoms should I be looking for? I have an upper respiratory infection I'm battling and one hen is pretty sick. Mucous discharge from nose, crusty and bubbly eyes and the cough.
Yeah, Definitely stopped me in my tracks. I'll pick some up and treat the flock. Man, the chicken universe is really laying it on me. I've had bumble, the upper respiratory infection, lice, and now possibly this. Shew.
They had watermelon today. But I found this. Two spots. I've been fighting a respiratory infection also. Still wet so not sure how dark it would dry out.
Yes, I was reading I have to treat the flock as a closed flock now that this has come into the flock. I was originally looking at the tiagard for this issue since I could buy it straight from Amazon, but this guy told me how to use any left over kids amoxicillin to treat and since I had that on...
Per a local poultry biologist/veterinary supply guy - amoxicillin. She doesn't present with egg binding symptoms so I guess I'm good there. She's starting to sound better. Still some sneezing. Very little wheezing. No open mouth breathing. The respiratory infection is definitely starting to run...
I have two issues going through my flock right now: lice and an upper respiratory infection.
From what I can tell, only two had actual lice. One bad (eggs and all), one not bad (just a few lice present). They've been separated and now the entire flock has been treated with elector PSP...
She's on day 3 with the amoxicillin and I've already seem a tremendous improvement! Her tail is even perking back up. I believe they are poultry lice. I'll include pictures.
THANK YOU! I actually ended up getting ahold of someone who has the ability to prescribe medication and he suggested amoxicillan if I had any - just so happened to have some left over from one of my kids so I have been giving that to her (with his recommended dosage information). Also found...
Fleas or mites? This girl is currently separate due to an upper respiratory amd while treating her I saw this thing on the towel crawl across her face. Apon further inspection I found more smaller ones. I've ordered elector psp. I'll clean the coop when I get the elector so I do it all in one...
I have a hen who has one frothy eye, wheezing, sneezing and head shaking. I cannot get a prescription so I was looking at alternative routes. Found tylosin here...
