Sorry about the above link, but it does not correlate with my book--they don't include the page I was trying to post in the online version. I'm not really an expert on Mareks like some members of BYC, but from what I have read there are about 3 main types of Mareks, and while some don't cause...

According to Diseases of Poultry, transient paralysis syndrome in one form of Mareks chickens show signs of imbalance and paralysis of the neck or limbs for only 1-2 days, followed by a complete recovery. Then a few weeks later, they can die from Mareks lymphoma tumors. Here is the book online...

Sulfadimethoxine will treat for the worst 2 strains of coccidia, so the the Corid probably isn't necessary, but others may disagree. Make sure they are getting some probiotics or a little buttermilk or plain yogurt. With Mareks and other diseases such as avian leukosis that can cause lowered...

The gallbladder is where the bile is stored. If you have ever seen someone with a blocked bile duct they look kind of green. Remember the bilirubin babies from NICU?

I'm guessing, but is the green thing the gall bladder?

Well, I will have to admit I was wrong. Here is another article (and I found several more) that supports that there is peroxide in honey. Link:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3201021/

Honey contains a lot of things, such as organic acids, but hydrogen peroxide is not listed as one of them. Here are a couple of links tomread about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

Tylan is an antibiotic used to treat respiratory diseases.

Since there are at least 9 strains of coccidiosis in chickens, the 5 new girls could have been exposed to a different strain from your flock. The Corid treatment sounds like a good idea.

Wry neck is a neurological symptom of brain inflammation. Look at pictures 4,5,and 6Here is the Cornell Mareks link: http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/avian-atlas/#/disease/Marek's_Disease

After treating for coccidiosis with Corid, vitamins A, B1 thiamine, and vitamin K need to be replaced for several days. Vitamin K is found in greens such as kale. Probiotics should be given also.

No, most people only treat for coccidiosis only if there is an outbreak, and that usually occurs under the age of 20 weeks to those who have not built up an immunity to what is in their soil yet. Coccid can affect older chickens,especially if it is a chronic strain, or have been exposed to new...

Oh, I'm so happy you found Aloe again. He may enjoy being around his friends in the coop if you have a low wattage heat lamp source, or even a heating pad on low in the coop for him only. Or you could bring in another friend into the laundry room, and switch them out daily to rotate friends...

Seminole, I'm glad your polish girl was okay--you must dream about Mareks at night. I was reading on the different respiratory things, and could only find wheezes instead of rales in ILT, and I'm sure it isn't that. I would look down his throat though for foreign object. Ten Chicks, good...

Is he having rales or wheezes? Have you checked inside his beak and throat for foreign bodies or abnormal tissue? Tylan50 might be better for respiratory.

Seminolewind, sorry for your loss.

Sulfadimethoxine (Di-Methos, Albon, and Sulfamed G) is the best drug for coryza if that is what your chickens have. Sulmet can be used, but is hard on kidneys and liver. Here are 2 suppliers online, the first one has both liquid and powder if you scroll down...

Sorry for your loss. I'm hoping it was just an injury, not Mareks.

Kathy if you read 5 sources, they will tell you 5 different dosages for Tylan. I think there is a safety window if it's in the ballpark. Merck manual I think says 35 mg per kg, my notes tell me 10 mg per kg (or 3-5 mg per pound from another source.) Another site says 100 mg per chicken each...
