antibiotic

Hello fellow flock keepers! A while back, I posted a thread with concerns with a hen who was laying rubber eggs and had diarrhea with some worms. Treated for worms. Turned out to be salpingitis (she layed a lash egg 😞) . Thankfully, there is an avian vet in the area, as well as an avian lab...

Hi! So I have 3 pekin ducklings that are 5 weeks old. Two weeks ago, I took them to the vet for a respiratory infection, and they were put on TMS antibiotic orally 2x a day. Today is supposed to be their last day of antibiotic. they all were doing much better, until 3 days ago I noticed one was...

This may be a silly question, but do you give any of your fowl antibiotics, medication, anything of that sort? Hopeful for a reply! We just got some peachicks, about to have them in an aviary by our chicken pin, and just curious if we need to continue them on medicated chick feed starter or if...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a story about my hen Isabella and see if anyone has ever seen anything like this. She was a Rhode Island White and less than a year old, one day she was fine and the next one she didn't want to move or eat. She was the hungriest chicken in the flock and when I...

Injected antibiotics into young birds (chicks 4-5 weeks) with a larger needle than I usually use. I lost 2 almost instantly and one is now gasping and wheezing and running backwards.... the sound it is making is almost a gasping/squeaking wheeze? No crackling or rails and lungs sound clear.. no...

Hello, I started my adventure in chicken tending earlier this spring. Yesterday, I had a Fox figure out the lock to our coop and take out three of our four girls. The one left had a 1.5x1/2 inch wound on her back where her skin was missing. I could see the muscle underneath. We couldn’t...

My silkie rooster was attacked by a fox at dusk last night around 8pm. He was just going into the coop when he charged at a fox to protect his hens. The fox snagged him and took off with him in the woods. My partner screamed that a fox took off with the rooster and we let the dogs out and took...

It was a rainy day and when the rain had stopped at about 5pm, I felt so bad locking all my girls up and I let them out. Big mistake. Luckily my husband heard the chain link fence rattle. We think that it was a younger fox, on his own. He killed one of my full grown hens before my husband got...

I have 3 poults and I've seen bloody poop, so I started giving them corid. But 2 of them are sneezing a lot, have discharge coming from their nose so I'm thinking a respiratory infection. Can I also add antibiotics to their water with the corid? Thanks!

I have two out of 7 chickens (6 weeks old now) that have been sick with a respiratory infection for 3 weeks now. I originally had 10 but 3 have passed away, not sure why they had no obvious symptoms. on March 26 I got deneguard and put in chicks water at 8cc per gallon for 5 days, didn’t help...

My buff Orpington is 7 months old, she became sick a few days ago. One of her eyes was swollen and had bubbles in it. But we have started treating her with Neosporin and saline twice a day. But now it seems like she is unable to breathe very well. She raises her head and takes a long breathe...

Got home from work and found my first lash egg. I immediately ran to TSC. They were out of Tylan but I was able to pick up a broad spectrum antibiotic called Duramycin 72-200. It's injectable though. I'm not sure where to inject it, for how long to treat or who to treat and how much. The...

I have a 2 yr old duck. She started coughing 3 weeks ago. The first week I believed she just was eating her scratch too dry so I stopped putting it on the ground and in a bowl with water. 2nd week I believed it was a cold so I got her poultry booster and hoped it would go away on its own. Then...

We had five chicks that were about three months old. When we moved them outdoors, one of them started dramatically tilting its head to the side. We were worried that it was due to stress from being moved outdoors, so we took her back inside where she had been living before we moved her out. She...

a little less than a week ago, my buff orpington, kung pao, was attacked by a raccoon at 1 AM. her eye was swollen shut and she had a small wound on her neck and under her wing. all of these wounds are doing very well. she’s opening her eye on her own and it isn’t crusty anymore. now for the...

So I have a chicken coop and duck enclosure that share a fence separating the 2. My 2 female pekins hatched only 2 ducklings. I kept the moms and babies in the duck house. There's a small Crack in the door that I had blocked with a board. Somehow the board got moved. One duckling squeezed out...

My chicken was attacked by a predator less than 48 hours ago. She is picking up a bit but has a lot of wounds. I have been treating them with Neosporin (without the topical pain med) and giving her water by dropper when she won't drink on her own. I have 250 mg Azithromycin tabs that I can...

I let my chickens out and went out an hour later to find one in the horse water tank. She was floating around with her head out of the water, but was soaked. I brought her in and used the blow dryer to dry her. She is now in front of the really warm heater and is alert. She just started eating...
