I have a 2 year old hen that recently laid a lash egg. She has been eating and drinking and acting normally. When I checked her vent it looked okay, maybe a little prolapsed, but when I pushed on her abdomen some pus did come out of the vent. I was able to get amoxicillin and have been giving...
Does anybody have any success stories of their chicken with Marek's disease and giving them acyclovir or doxycycline? There is minimal research from what I have found but possible potential?
What is the difference between doxycycline tylosin and regular tylosin? Like what situation would call for doxycycline tylosin instead of the tylosin alone?
Hello everyone,
My pullets have a respiratory disease. Started with a couple birds that I isolated but now pretty much the whole flock is coughing. A few have watery eyes and nasal discharge. It seems to be either mycoplasma or coryza. I did some research and was going to get erythromycin but...
Hello, I am treating a goose with bumblefoot. I have been soaking her foot twice a day. I don't want to cut into her foot because I don't think the infection is very bad. I did get some of it out today but I'm having a terrible time keeping her foot bandaged.
I plan on soaking her some more...
I have a 9mo old SLW rooster who presented a day ago with mild clear discharge from his left eye and nostril but was behaving normally. The following day, today, the discharge had stopped but he’d developed a slight, intermittent gurgle (still acting otherwise normal) but by the evening had...
Hi all!
I’m new to raising chickens, my father recently bought 30+ chickens and somehow I became their caretaker 😅 We have a large backyard lot so the chickens have made it their home, day by day looking after the chickens becomes easier and I’ll admit they’re growing on me.
Towards the end of...
I have two pullets going through a respiratory infection that a vet thought is probably mycoplasma. He prescribed doxycycline in all my chickens' water. I'm a little confused though because the bottle label says give it to them for 15-20 days but he definitely didn't give me enough to last that...
I found this article regarding the egg withdrawal for doxycycline in laying hens, but am I reading it correctly-14 day egg withdrawal?

Any idea how long for Fluconazole?
Thanks!
I have a chicken who had sour crop. I treated that part and she is eating again but she has diarrhea, and her poop looks the same as the posts that show clostridium perfringens. I don't have an avian vet that can see her- they are all booked for weeks! I have tried to find antibiotics online to...
Hi everyone,
I have a little Silkie mix that has quite a serious bumble foot infection on each foot. I was away for three months on work and someone else was caring for my chickens... it didn't get caught in time for conservative treatment. I watched a few YouTube videos on bumble foot surgery...
Hello!
I am following up a previous thread related to my blue brahma, Blue.
I adopted her at 2 months of age along with 3 other chickens who were at about 4 months of age from a ranch near my home. Within about 2 weeks Blue started showing signs of being sick but I didn't realize it, I thought...
