    infectious bronchitis and thin shelled eggs

    No, I did not treat since this was 12 years ago. Back then, it was new to me.

    infectious bronchitis and thin shelled eggs

    Just wondering, do you have other birds with symptoms of sneezing every few minutes for several weeks? Was it diagnosed with testing or had you seen it before? Most of the time 7 days is long enough to give the calcium for harder shells, but I think that @azygous will give it for up to 2 weeks...

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    Aquasol is the same medicine as SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, goes in the water, and does not have an egg withdrawal, but it only treats roundworms and cecal worms. It does not treat gapeworms or capillary worms, and is very expensive. Also the dosage is very complicated.

    HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    I am just looking at the blue green area again, and see that you have wrapped the foot before. So I am wondering if you may have wrapped the tape or dressing a bit too tight. If that is what happened, it could be a little necrotic or damaged where the circulation was cut off a bit. That may have...

    HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

    Big Blue Hen is right that is bruising. Edited to say, I think this is now possible necrotic skin from interrupted circulation (too tight dressing.) See post 12 below. I would flush the hole with saline or wound spray, apply antibiotic ointment to it and the red area on the toe. Then dress it...

    Help! My Cochin hen has some sort of abscess? Idk what it is. It’s below the vent and huge!

    I still think that it is a hernia, but now may have infection. The air sounds like there is an air sac close to the puncture sight and you may have drained some air with the cloudy yellow liquid. It is probably abdominal contents and probably evidence of egg yolk peritonitis. That is just my...

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer is given orally for 5 consecutive days at a dosage of 0.23 ml per pound, which is about 1.25 ml orally for a 5 pound hen. It has to be shaken well before drawing up each dose, and it settles out in water, so it is not accurate to give it in the water. If a hen is not...

    Respiratory infection - vet visit & prescription list

    Where are you located? You can check with your state vet lab, or contact Zoologix or RAL lab for private testing. The last 2 will send you swabs and material to collect testing samples, and then you mail them in for PCR testing. Some do panels of multiple diseases. Zoologix is in CA...

    Anyone in CT that knows a good avian Vet

    Hopefully someone may help you. Try posting on your state thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/connecticut.55/page-877 In the meantime I would call around at regular vets for people with chicken expertise or avian vets. I would rather use a chicken knowledgeable vet than an...

    Vent gleet?? Very sick hen

    I would be concerned that there are still maggots present on the bare area. I would look carefully with a magnifier. Consider spraying Permethrin ready to use spray on her vent area to kill any maggot larvae on the skin. A warm daily or more often soak followed by applying plain triple...

    Chicken survived predator attack but can’t walk

    I would keep an eye on her keel/breastbone for skin breakdown or pressure sores. It looks like that may happen. Padding might help.

    Hen not putting weight on leg

    It still could be a leg injury, and internal reproductive infections, lash eggs, and tumors can put pressure on the sciatic nerves in the legs. It can be hard to know what the problem is, sometimes until a testing and necropsy by the state vet lab is done when we lose one.

    Tapeworms

    In the material I have read, it says that in people, dogs and cats that food helps the active ingredient praziquantel become better utilized to work better. It shouldn’t matter with chickens. So, I would treat them first thing in the morning and then release them into the run to eat and drink. I...

    Fowl pox

    Hopefully the feathers will grow back eventually with mini molts. Fowl pox is a virus spread by mosquitoes. Scabs should be left alone because fallen scabs and disturbing them can spread the virus. Scabs can drop off and dry up, become powdery, and be inhaled for months later spreading the virus...

    Cecal Poop or Coccidiosis

    Is that cedar shavings? You may want to change that out for pine shavings or sand, since the fumes can irritate chickens’ respiratory systems. Welcome to BYC.

    I can see this is lash material but next steps?

    Salpingitis is eventually fatal, but they can have it for a couple of years. I’m not expert, but had a couple of big hens who had the symptoms and had yellow urates present in the droppings that got stuck below the vent. They just hung out with their flock living fairly normally. Eventually...

    I can see this is lash material but next steps?

    She has salpingitis as evidenced by the lash egg material that she has been laying. It can lead to egg yolk peritonitis. Water belly can be a complication. I’m not sure that I would treat again with antibiotics since you have used clavamox twice now. It it up to you though. I would give some...
