Not much progress to report on her canker - been treating now for 4 days with second drug: Ronidazole 2x day, which is considered an antibiotic. I looked in mouth and sores - yellow growths are still there and no change detected. I have noticed since I began this new med, her crop feels worse like there is air in it not always water. It does seem to empty somewhat overnight, but when I massage her crop I get an occasional burp. She also has begun drinking more and I pulled their water for a while yesterday to discourage this but her crop still feels bloated. I believe she has a thrush infection in her crop now although her breath smells normal.
Am putting ACV in water, was feeding proBios but not today cuz I need to change regimen. I have seen posts regarding Miconazole for thrush, and I have to try and see if it helps at all. Gave her some this morn. I feel like I'm swimming upstream here. When you give long term antibiotics you run the risk of a secondary infection usually a yeast. I suspect that she has had this canker for so long it's probably a lost cause. New behavior today: just sitting in the laying box, she hadn't been doing that before. Uh-oh!
Here's my question:
I am giving both drugs - I heard somewhere that you don't give them together or you separate them by two hours or so. I dunno. Anyone have any opinions or suggestions on the timing of giving these? I gave the Miconazole, waited 2 hours, then the Ronidazole. Any insight would help here Thanks
