Happy update-my pullet is back outside and almost 100% better. She's put on a lot of weight and is very active. Thanks for the info that saved her life.

Thanks for the input. Her response to the Cipro is a miracle. Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction, and giving me the dosing information.
Michelle :)
This is how she's looking today. Her other eye looks better than this one. She can see well enough to eat and drink. I just got tylan 200 delivered. Do I switch her from the Cipro to the tylan, or stay on the Cipro?
Thanks,

Michelle

Michelle

I just noticed today my 4 month old pullet had a swollen face with eyes shut. Tail pointed down and lethargic. I took her out of the coop and noticed she is quite thin. I haven't noticed any other symptoms. I gave her some nutridrench and VetRx. She is now in a box in my guest bedroom. I...
Yes, they died of secondary infection. It was awful to see my once beautiful vibrant babies die one by one. I thought that I was home free after the summer was over, but it is still hot and RAINING here. Which means we still have mosquitoes. I am praying and WAITING for the cooler weather...
Thanks for the replies. I am just confused that they would get fowl pox now, instead of a year ago when the fowl pox swept through their flock mates. I just ordered some oxine and tylan, with 2 day shipping. Hope my babies will be OK. Of course this would happen during a holiday, and me...
