Finally some good news! Our sick wyandotte seems to be at 100% after the second dose of Eprinex.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice; you certainly saved one nice chicken
Herman -- any luck?
Hi Herman,
Sure will. Just came in from giving her the Eprinex. I spent some time stroking her throat in a downward motion and gently squeezing her throat and crop area. We also dripped in some water (but she's obviously drinking as we've been working with her for over two weeks; maybe...
Hi Gang -- no luck yet.
We're 48 hours past the second Tylan injection and our Wyandotte does not seem to have improved.
If you guys could take a quick peek at these videos I just took minutes ago, maybe it might help (excuse my less than professional videography -- no clue what that crazy...
Thanks for the confirmation on the Eprinex Dawg; if its Gapeworm or other worms we'll hopefully see some improvement by...........tomorrow maybe? That would be 3 days since worming. We're at 48 hours after Eprinex right now, hard to see much improvement, but she's still lively; eating and...

I do think, based on my additional findings, this might be the...
Wow --- now I'm not sure at all. Was following my book DISEASES OF FREE RANGE POULTRY by Victoria Roberts which prescribed an injection of Tylan 200 .5ml for an adult into the breast muscle; repeat in 48 hours. We did just that, no success.
This is a full grown Wyandotte (unsure of actual...
WOW --- thank you all for sharing your advice; really really appreciate it!
Our sick Wyandotte is still struggling; she's still eating and drinking but almost gasping for air, sometimes quite loudly like she can't breathe; I feel horrible and am considering culling her in the evening, but every...
Thank you all very much! Was so happy to see replies to my post --
1 Lively Chick -- Only reason we went with injections is that on a thread on found elsewhere on the internet they were all recommending injections vs. provided in their drinking water; but I didn't even know that orally was...
Hello! While new to this forum (actually, any forum for that matter) we have raised chickens for about 8 years; small flock of 12-20 mixed breed birds for eggs and enjoyment.
We have a 2.5 year old Silver Laced Wyandotte with respiratory problems (a cold). I have spent a few hours scouring...
