Hey casportpony, It was recommended on a thread. And since I don't have any experience with vent gleet, fungus or chickens for that matter, I'm researching various options. It's seems any antibiotic will need to be prescribed by a vet in Canada. And I'm checking to see if fenbendazole that...

Hi She's a little bird, weighing a little less than 4lbs. I mixed the 150mg pill in 20 ml of water. So each ml of water should have appx 7.5mg of fluconazole when disolved. I gave her appx 2 doses a day until it was gone. So, about 15mg per day for 7 days. Her crop is emptying over night. She...

I'm looking to see where I can get Metronidazole - seems I need a prescription here in Canada. I'll make a few phone calls - and look for the spray. I'm in a rural area so access to supplies ain't always easy. Thank you for the reply - I'll try my best

I'm in Canada, so I'll try to find them. Thank you for the information. I really need some help with this, as I'm a new bird mom and want to help this girl out. I posted a few pics on another reply - to 'confirm' possible gleet. Jen

Thank you for the information, here's a few pics for your reference. I appreciate all the information She got a bath about 8-9 hrs ago and this has accumulated since. I hope I can figure this out! It's frustrating! Does it look like gleet to you? Jen

Hello Here's a few pics. For reference, she was bathed about 9 hours ago, this has accumulated since and she has now been washed again for the night. She's otherwise happy, eating, laying more than not and being a normal bird.

I'll post some photos later. She just got a bath, so not much to see right now. But it will build back up throughout the day. Here she is in the sink! She's so sweet Thank you

Ok - I'll try to find some of those meds. Do you know if they are available over the counter, as access to a vet and/or prescriptions is difficult. Thank you so much - I've only had hens for a little over a year - so I'm new to all this - but I want to do right by those girls. :)

I just used a 150mg tablet of fluconazole over 7 days to treat vent gleet. It did not work. I need another suggestion as daily baths, ACV, yogurt and Canesten cream is only keeping it at bay and not curing the problem. Been ongoing for a month now.

The Fluconazole did not work. 150mg tablet was given to her over 7 days. No improvement really. I need more help! What else can I try? I saw a post about Metronidazole but I've never dealt with gleet before so I don't know what to do. She's still getting baths and ACV and yogurt. She's laying...

Hello friends It seems one of my sweet 1-2 year old leghorns has developed a gleet issue. It's my 1st time dealing with this - all symptoms and online research lead me to believe she has a cloacal fungal infection. The 1st week I bathed her every day, gave plain yogurt, added apple cider...

There was a small brown clot of blood in the egg white and a few red blood specks in the yolk. Maybe a broken blood vessel? Or meat spot as I'm learning these new terms. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for your reply. When we cracked the egg, there was a small clot of blood in the white and a few specks of blood in the yolk. So it seems it was a broken blood vessel. All good! I'm not sure what hatchery they came from - We ordered 8 leghorns from a country co-op store and they have the...

Hello Wondering what would cause this type of marking on an egg. Layed today by a leghorn, 7 months old. It's like she had dynamite for breakfast! Thanks I'm new to this site and owning chickens. Currently have 18 hens (4 leghorn, 6 sexlinks, 4 Rhode Island red and 4 leghorn? with black spots...
