Okay, I contacted the state vet and explained what was going on. He referred me to the Mississippi Verterinary Research Lab. The vet there told me that it is probably not Coryza. She said that there are hardly any cases of that here in Mississippi. I am going to take the sickest birds to the lab...
Thank you so much for that link M@M@2four. I just ordered some gallimycin and the coryza vaccine from jeffers.
When it comes in I will go ahead and vaccinate the little ones and start the big ones on gallimycin for ten days and then vaccinate them. I hate to say it but I might have to cull the...
Sonoran Silkies-He only gives them the Tylan when he notices symptoms. He said that he doesn't have as many cases as he use too after he started using the powder. My birds are pets, not livestock. This is not the first time I have been offended by this receptionist. Once when I was waiting to...
I will try to take a pic of her when I get home and post it. Just picture a dead chicken with a mildly swollen gunky face. That is pretty much what she looks like at this point. Sorry to hear about the fowl pox. I haven't had issues with that...yet. It seems like because I take good care of my...
I started Sulmet this morning. When I went to let everyone our of the coop my rooster started coughing and sneezing He is my favorite. The buffs wouldn't even come down from the roost and the sick cochin just stayed in the nesting box where she always sleeps. She has never laid an egg so I know...
Thank yall. Yes, I know that she will always be a carrier. I just don't know... All I can do is cry right now. When this is over I swear I am never getting anymore chickens ever again. Noone tells you how much heartbreak is envolved with taking care of them.
Speckledhen- You're not being...
I am on the brink on a total meltdown right now.
I have got a 1-year-old buff orpington with infectious coryza. I know it is coryza because her face is swollen, her eyes and nose gunky, and she smells like she is dead. I treated her with tylan 50 injections for 4 days and she is still very...
This is Mr. Peepers. He is 6 months old in this picture. He is the sweetest chicken I have. He was originally my momma's chicken and used to ride on her shoulder like a parrot. She found out he was a roo and now he lives at my house!
nuts4chicks, Tylan 50 injectible and the 3/4 inch 22 gauge syringes are cheap on jefferslivestock.com. That's where I ordered mine from. I recommend the powder form (a friend of mine has had better results with this) but it's pretty expensive. Get some VetRx too and use that around the nose with...
I was told by a few people to cull my entire flock, but like you I am super attached to them. I am like woolymama in that I don't show or sell my birds, so I didn't see any reason to cull mine. I don't think that mine is Coryza though--if it is then it must not be a real bad case. All of my...
