Ahhhh SNEEZING :(( used tylan

[hali74]

Hi guys, few weeks back I took my hens to the vets for runny nose and sneezing issues and they were given tylan soluable.. I used it for 4 days ( it was prescribed for 3) and the runny nose stopped immediately and the sneezing was much much less..

However they're are constantly sneezing now - no nose residue nor any discharge from eyes - just sneezes - I cleaned out their coop throughly with poultry sprays etc and they are sneezing still

What should I do?

I'm from the uk - an don't really want to give them any more antibiotics - anything other method I can use?


Thank you

Some viruses such as infectious bronchitis can cause sneezing. I would make sure that there was no dust in the coop, and that it is as clean and dry as possible so no ammonia odor is present, since those two things also cause sneezing. Do they have watery eyes or any thin nasal drainage? Here is some info on IB: http://www.merckmanuals.com/vet/pou...view_of_infectious_bronchitis_in_poultry.html

No nothing at all just sneezing.. I must admit I usual clean out the coop once a week but this time I did it after 3 weeks - but kept changing the bedding etc

Thanks for the link!
