    Help? Infection?

    But besides all of that 'kill all of your chickens' stuff. If its treated, they do OK. I don't think that most people will do an "all out" with their pets. Nothing prevents people from trying it if MG or coryza is suspected...often a swollen eye or two is enough. Treating would not hurt...

    Help? Infection?

    Thanks! Its also good for dogs etc...generally for eye injury or other problems.

    Help? Infection?

    Get some Denaguard to have on hand. There is a generic of it too. Its on Amazon. You put it in the water and it covers upper respiratory and colds, which often looks like this. If its an injury, the denaguard will not hurt. You can actually use it monthly in the water to prevent colds and upper...

    What is this?!

    I would squeeze the stuff out because it wont heal unless you do that. It may go underground and fester for longer, but it will be a bump that is not healed and could get infected later on. If its a feather, then that will come out with the gunk that you squeeze out.

    If its perking up and eating and drinking, then you did! This is totally common and you caught it.

    Wound from dog attack

    I know that it looks terrible but chickens can heal from things like this. I would flush it with water or vetrycin and then put neosporin original (no pain killer in it) on. Keep her in a crate in your garage or a cage in the coop if you don't have room. It has to heal in a clean place. If you...

    Help with baby chicks blood in poop

    Cocci exists inside chickens and its in poop. An overgrowth causes coccidiosis and bloody poop. Corid or Amprolium (the generic) is what you need. Its also in medicated feed but by the time they get cocci they lose appetite. Treat them all and keep some on hand, because adults can get it too...

    What is this?!

    Looks like an infected feather pore thats backed up. squeeze the stuff out and put neosporin original, (without pain killer in it.) Hard to tell what part of the chicken its on but if its somewhere that touches the ground you may want to wrap it or spray it with some aluminum spray. Thats what...

    Two-month-old chicks/pullets are dying, please advise

    Can you call a vet and ask them for an Rx? I would also keep Denaguard on hand because it treats upper respiratory infections...just in case. You may be able to order some online and have it shipped to you. But shipping will probably be expensive. They also make a powder. What kinds of chicken...

    First experience with bumblefoot

    I agree about Prid. Clean it and soak it if you can. Then put some prid on it and wrap with vet wrap. I get it on Amazon rather than the pharmacy because its for animals and it sticks better. Change the bandaged and reapply Prid ever 2-3 days and see how it goes. Take the scab off each time so...

    2 hens in past month with tumors embedded in organs *photo*

    Mareks is in feather dust so if you think that people who drive to the feed store from various coops may have it on their shoes and on their tires then you can see that its everywhere. The vaccine only works on the paralyzing brain tumors. Chickens still get tumors from it. Wild birds and...

    Sick peacock… urgent help required!

    Ivomec is NOT a great drug for Covid. It can actually do harm. Its a wormer and will work fine for round worms in peacocks. Cannot believe that someone would politicize a response about a sick bird.

    No Tylan?!

    ...and prevents. This is what Tylan also treats, so it is worth mentioning.

    No Tylan?!

    Tylan 50 is likely going prescription only, from what I've heard. It could be unavailable because they have to change the label. I have had good luck sourcing Russian Tylan 50 on ebay. The next best is probably LA 200, but it's less specific for the respiratory illnesses even though they both...

    Why arent my chickens laying?

    I think she meant roos. There are viruses that can effect laying but you would probably see some other problem. The vet that told you to kill your birds was stating what is taught to farm vets who serve poultry industry where they do all-in-all-out chicken keeping. That does not work with...

    Opening mouth wide?

    she is gaping...its from too much heat. Make sure they have water and keep an eye on the heat. make sure they can get away from it. They also do that sometimes when they have an upper respiratory infection. keep an eye on her...make sure her breathing isnt raspy...her nose or eyes are not...

    How do I treat a hen with really bad vent gleet?

    I would stick a needle in it and see if you can aspirate anything out of it. If its an infection, even an older one, it could be drained. I would give an antibiotic such as Tylan 50 daily and keep it clean. Also give yogurt and probios...ACV and all that. If it aspirates pus, you may be able to...
