Hi fancy.

Thought i woul give you a little bit of an update.

I ended up going to the vets and she gave me baytril antibiotics. She said it may not help my little belgium with swollen sinus. ..... BUT after two days her sinus is completely down. Wahoo. I will keep her inside for the test of week to make sure she has fully recovered.

Not so good news for my black one with mites aroind her eyes. After powdering her eyes did not seem so irritated and they now do not stay closed or need washing. The vet said to give her baytril aswell since ahe had been with other chickens with respiratory. She has very few short burst where she will eat for 1min and them go back to her sad state.

She must have some other underlying issue as she still cant stand or walk around and is top heavey... Just rolls. Her right legs does not work and her legs are actually turning black and spreading up her legs- i am thinking because no circulation. I have been putting vaseline on them because dried and some scales lifted.

My husband and i are going to take her to the bet tmro to put her down. It is for the best and i don't want her to suffer any more. Very sad but at least I have had a couple of days to prepare myself.

Before baytril:

After 2 days on baytril:

Some important information on baytril. Remember that it is very hard on their system and some probiotic powder or yokult to replace the good bacteria would be well worthwhile .

You can get a good probiotic from your produce, I got one for my cat recently that was having issues. The same one you can use for birds and dogs as well.
