So sorry about Alice. Do tag me on any new thread you start. Scaly mite is usually pretty simple to treat.

It's good you started her on the amoxicillin. Antibiotics are usually good for well past the expiration date (except not tetracyclines). I hope she gets better

I hope you get the aquamox sooner and it helps her. 💚

Yes, isolate her. If she's only been eating eggs, her blood sugar may be low. See if she will eat a little mashed sweet potato or oatmeal. Something soft and cooked with carbs. Even just a TBSP or two will help get her blood sugar up. You can also put a few grains of salt, a few grains of...

That's good to hear. Btw, the only time to check crops for problems is in the morning. At night, they can feel full from food. But if the crop doesn't empty overnight, that's a sign of a problem

Be sure to check Alice's crop first thing tmrw morning before she eats anything and let us know how it is. It should feel empty and flat.

I was just going to suggest that. Sometimes after rounds of antibiotics, the crop can get slow. @Chopper923 I am really sorry for everything you have experienced and are still going through. 💜 None of it is your fault, you are doing the best you can, and truly you've had some terrible luck to...

How are things going with your flock? 💚

Are you planning to repeat the Tri Sulfa treatment 10 days after the last day of the first one? Since your report confirmed coccidiosis (the protozoa parasite) in addition to bacterias, a follow up of Tri Sulfa would be needed to break the parasite's cycle.

You got it.

Yes. Tri-Sulfa treats coccidiosis (the protozoa) and bacteria. If you are giving Tri-Sulfa, it's not necessary to also give Corrid.

I mean to to say other antibiotics are not effective against coccidia (the protozoa)

Yes, there's coccobacilli (bacteria) and coccidia (protozoa). Important to know they are different and which is which. And what these birds have

I recall that the necropsy @Chopper923 ordered revealed Mycoplasma (don't recall if it was or G) E. Coli sepsis Salmonella Turkey enteritis virus

An addition to my other comment on antibiotic families: Sulpha antibiotics are the only family that treats both for bacteria and coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is not caused by bacteria, but by a protozoa (different kind of organism). But supha kills both bacterias and cocci. Other antibiotics are...

Yep, you will be degree worthy yourself after this experience!

Yes. I've mentioned that my original flock all came sick with respiratory and other problems. I didn't have as many as you do, but I went through much of the same confusion, overwhelm and sadness. But wow, I learned a lot.

Both bacterial and viral infections can cause lameness, swelling, and/or soreness in joints. E. Coli does, I've both read and seen. And I recall the necropsy you had done was positive for E. Coli. There are different families of related antibiotics. Tri-Sulpha is a sulfur based antibiotic...

E. Coli sepsis is a widespread killer. It it also very transmissible from bird to bird. Most strains of E. Coli will respond to antibiotics however. Whether or not the affected bird pulls through depends on many factors -- nutrition, general well being, etc. Antibiotics, good food, and sunshine...

The bright yellow poop is a common side effect of the sulfa antibiotic. Sulfur is yellow in color. And again, I'm so sorry you are going through such a sad experience :hugs
