    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    I’ll have to check her crop tonight & tomorrow morning; I just assumed it was respiratory as it was brought on suddenly by heat & the stress of transport. No canker or lesions; the vet did examine her airway thoroughly.

    Thank you, but I’m in Canada! It’s very difficult to find avian vets & services here.

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    We’re now at day 11 of this respiratory issue. Less gurgling, but still some open mouthed breathing & sneezing. It seems to be worst midday. She’s eating & drinking, and runs very fast if watermelon is involved. The antibiotics, SulfaDiazine Trimethroprim, were finished at day 7. I had hoped to...

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    She is not gurgling all the time, just when I start chasing her or she gets a little spooked. She sneezes occasionally. No discharge from eyes or beak.

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    It’s now Monday morning. Meds were started Friday evening. It’s been so difficult to get the antibiotics into her with a syringe & I feel like some isn’t getting swallowed.. ugh. I did find a better method to get the meds into her, & that’s soaking watermelon in it. It’s the only thing she goes...

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    Hiya! I brought a beautiful new bird home: Milkshake, a one year old chocolate Orpington. I believe the stress & heat brought on the illness as I picked her up the hottest day of the year (when it was 42C with the humidex). She has been gurgling when she breathes & sneezing, though her comb...

    Guess the sex: 4 week old pure white Belgian D’Uccles

    That’s what I thought too, but I doubted my luck. I can usually tell by now as I’ve hatched several other coloured D’Uccles! I’ll post in another week or so.

    Guess the sex: 4 week old pure white Belgian D’Uccles

    I’ve never had an issue identifying D’Uccles before, but this group of four is stumping me. They’re hatchery birds, so maybe that’s why! Any guesses? Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3 Chick 4 Chick 5
