My first sinus infection

Here are some pictures of my first ever sinus infection. Chick weight - 800 grams. Gave 0.16ml of 10% Baytril IM.

Have my first URI in a peachick. Here it is at 9 am:


Four hours later:




Here he is 8 hours later. Note that I have not wiped his face.







28 hours later - still some swelling that is hard to see in pictures and some clear drainage from nostril. Up five grams, which is not enough, but it's better than a loss.




Chick was 100% after just two shots, but gave two more per the recommendation of a vet.

key BRD-causing bacteria in 1–2 hours.2,3 And once
bacteria are dead, they’re dead."

Good job, what would cause that? Cold? Dirt?

Where did you find the injectable Baytril? We adopted a chicken who developed a nasty sinus/eye infection 2 days later. It looked just like your pictures. She was on oral Baytril for 4 months (yes, you read that correctly) before it finally went away but not before giving it to another hen (GRRRRRRRR!) The injectable seems to work much faster!
