You know that little girl just can't get a break, well actually she did. We got the Baytril but waited another day and she looked like she was going to be fine so we did not use it. Her eye was cleared up, the runny nose is gone and she was pretty much acting like her old self. Then last...

The little girl is looking like she may pull through. This is the first day her eye was not matted shut, the swelling is gone, although the eye is not totally open. She is still kind of mopey and still bites at the air a bit. No breathing issues at all other than a little drainage from one...

Oh absolutely! All but the one looks right as rain. Now if we can only get this last little girl welled up. We worked on her for quite awhile this morning giving her another shot of Tylan 1.2 cc SI. Her eye was matted shut so we soaked it with saline and peeled off the mating and rinsing...

We can now say the sick one. She still looks like she isn't feeling well and the eye is the same. We did a quick feeding this morning and went to town, just got back about midnight. We plan to give her another shot tomorrow and clean the eye again. I was able to look down her throat and it...

Now that I have learned something about throat latches I will have to go out tomorrow and study all of them anew. These two came from two different sources, FBC was talking on a different thread about the recessive traits and how they may stay hidden for many generations. I guess if I want...

Yes we have bees, about two hundred hives but only about 35 here on this property. I don't believe that this is a sting reaction as this bird had this long before it got warm enough for the bees to fly. That and she has the respiratory problems with the raspiness in the lungs. We did feel the...

This is the last sick bird. She has had two injections of Tylan, one last Friday, (although I may have not administered it correctly), and a second one Monday. This picture is after DW and I cleaned the pus and infection out and irrigated with saline. She has labored breathing and a rattle in...

Yes it is! And a BIG THANK YOU to both you and Yoda for all the support! I will continue to monitor the one last sickly one and let you know how she does.

For the most part they are looking much better. The one that had the worst case of 'cheese' in the throat, coughing, and raspy breathing looks great and had nothing in its throat. We heard no coughing or raspy breathing from any of them. Only three still had swollen eyes, yawning, and...

Sometimes I wonder if it is just the luck of the draw who you get on the phone. I called the manufacturer to ask for mixing directions for small amounts of the powder, the container said to mix the entire bottle in a gallon of water and then mix that into fifty gallons of water and use it...

I can not thank you enough for the kind offer! We are going to be gone all day today but we will take a close look tomorrow morning and if need be will PM you. This morning we fed rather quickly, two of them were still kind of mopey. I expect the drug to start showing improvement by tomorrow...

We got our order in from Valley Vet today and gave each pea an injection of Tylan. Of the 21 birds about six had swollen eyes, a couple of them almost completely shut. Four of the birds were gaping and have very raspy breathing. Of the four one had a lot of white cheese in the airway, one had...

Opps! two posts came in while I was typing, thanks again and sorry if I started something. I will go back and study both of your responses to make sure I am doing the right thing for our birds. You guys rock!

I am not sure about Yoda's reference to gapeing but I think that the respiratory problem also leads to a sore throat and if the yawning or gasping continues after treatment is over for the respiratory problem that I should be alert for gape worms. Also a sore throat may contribute to getting...

Am I looking for worms or for food that may be blocking the throat? I thought that Ivermectin was only for deworming?

Thanks for the info Kathy! We have the 200 on it's way, as I see it you inject less of it at a time and causes less muscle distress if injected IM. SI it would not matter. I will call as you recommend...

Thank you Yoda for taking the time to add to my knowledge base. The Tylan is on it's way and we will treat the peas when it gets here. After reading your info on the Baytril we will only use it as a last resort. What are the dangers of getting the Ivermectin on our skin while applying it to...

Went to town and checked both vets for drugs, one had nothing and the other did have a couple of things but they said that the tetracycline should work for our problem and suggested we up the dosage a little. They had Baytril and would have sold it to us, she said she wouldn't 'turn us in' for...

Thanks DM and Kathy for the replies. We have 21 peas in that pen, I am hoping that we can get a handle on them with medicated water, catching and injecting them all every day for a week would be a monumental task for us. We noticed that their food consumption had been going down for the last...

It seems that I have a bit of an outbreak in the pea pen. I need some help in identifying this ailment, so far I have given the three peas an injection of Agrimycin and have started treating the water with Durmycin (Tetracycline hydrochloride) soluble powder. One possibly two have a cough...
