Boston Terrier Thread!!

Oh that makes sense. Bunny was like that for a long time, but luckily it never caused the others to break their eggs. I eventually discovered she had shell gland infection and bovine penicillin cleared it up!

Anywhere I could get that without a prescription? I've already tried LA-200 and enrofloxacin.

I borrowed from a friend. That is probably the only way to get it without a prescription. Maybe ask around and see if any local ranches might have some. If you’re not close to any, you might be able to buy a few cc from them.

Thank you! It never occurred to me to ask my neighbors. There are plenty of cattle farmers around me.

Yay, glad I could help!

I did .5 cc intramuscularly in the breast once a day for three days. (But don’t take my word completely because I don’t remember what kind I had) The results were pretty much immediate as far as telling she was feeling better. She laid her first shelled egg in almost a year about a month later! It was a huge relief because the infection had gotten a lot worse.

That was two years ago too! She hasn’t had any egg issues since and is super healthy now.

Thanks! Having already tried two kinds of antibiotics I don't have a lot of hope, but I guess it's worth a try if I can find some. Seana is a special hen.

Yeah I hope it works. I’m really sorry have you tried a vet?

No, I haven't...too expensive atm. I already shelled out $165 to find out my flock is infected with an incurable respiratory disease and that could be causing her reproductive issues.

I’m sorry that’s awful. I get it though, I’ve never been able to afford a vet either. I envy people who do
