Upon the passing of my chicken Scaley, the necropsy report showed that she had capillary and cecal worms, coccidiosis as well as Mycoplasma S.
I used albendazole on the 4 remaining chickens the day she died on 12/14 and plan to do again on 12/24.
The question I have is if it is ok to do a corid course from now until the 24th.
I also plan to do the amoxy-tyl when I am done with this if it is not contraindicated.
If I should do the antibiotics first then that would be good to know too.
I wasn't planning on even using the antibiotics I bought for Scaley until Dovey seems to have hurt her knee and it is swollen and warm. It is the actual knee (the large end of her drumstick), not the hock swelling that is usually presented with MS. I am kind of afraid it is staph or the MS and just don't know. The flock pecking order is unstable now and Nuz doesn't want to be last like Scaley was so probably gave Dovey a hard time. I have seen her chasing and bothering Dovey now that she limps.
They are all stressed and I don't know how to prioritize the meds or what else to do.
