[Saaniya]

It causes the poops and Birds can not digest dairy...

Yes dairy is not good like milk I guess

My 5 Months Old Rooster Not Having Interest In His Feed , Corn Or Anything ..

He's Earlier On The 2 Treatment For Upper Respiratory Infection Medication Named "NeoDox A Combination Of Neomycin And Doxycycline Water Soluble Powder" During The Treatment Breathing Problem Gone And Next Day He's Less Interesting In Eating Corn Or Anything ..


there's no symptoms no ruffled feathers no lethargy no full crop nothing at all just he's not eating except millet

I'm very very worried tensed
I yesterday Started Biotrim (Sulfadiazine + Trim )


Any advises what's going on ?

He's probably feeling a little sick from both the respiratory infection and all the antibiotics, which can be hard on them. You can try offering him some really tasty, irresistible treats like scrambled eggs and live mealworms and see if he goes for that. Hopefully after the antibiotics are done he will perk back up.

You may want to weigh him and monitor his weight - if he starts losing a lot of weight something else may be wrong and more may need to be done.

Respiratory gets them feeling icky..My Flock has ILT and I run heat in my Coop to manage them...Stress brings out symptoms...

Apologies that this will be a little off-topic and I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happens when you report ILT to the government in Canada? I know in here in the USA and also apparently in Alberta Canada where you are (just looked it up, I was curious) it's a reportable disease that must be reported within 24 hours of an outbreak. I was under the impression that they culled the flocks, but I guess not? Do they just impose a quarantine?

Yes I separate him ..yes he's pooping normal and active

@Saaniya I replied to your PM and said I would post here. I am a bit confused about your concern.

You mention that he is not interested in his feed, but will pick at the millet. You also mention several times he has no symptoms, he's pooping, no problems with his crop, is running, playing and acting normal.

I understand that you care deeply about your sweet fella and worry about his health. Since he has been on medication and you recently stopped it, he may be feeling slightly off or is just preferring to eat millet since it might be a bit tastier than his regular feed (like a kid prefers sweets over veggies). Give him a couple of days to get back to normal. Offer only his normal feed along with plenty of fresh clean water. If he will eat the millet, then when he is hungry, he should eat his normal feed as long as it's fresh.

I hope all goes well for you and your cockerel.

When I started neodox (Neomycin n Doxycycline ) the symptoms were like only 1 ..

I hear there breathing sound so I contact a local vet so he prescribed me this medication

Thank u so much u reply yes you are right!

Teetee(My Rooster) after the medication he stop eating like corn and rice and other treats or eggs but he passionately liking to pick up millet seeds when we place bowlfull of millet he pick ..also there's no weight loss if I offers him a wheat toast dipped in water he like to eat half then stop

He's drinking fine
Popping normal no blood or anything abnormal only there's a new thing from 3 days since he's less on food ..
He bend down while walking and look up the sky like something is falling over him ..just ..

I started multivitamin with amino acids this morning

 

[Saaniya]

Some of my friends scared me a lot that he's having Marek's (versicle form) I'm just hopeless

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Can you post a video of his actions? The bending down?

As we discussed in one of your other threads, you had mentioned some strange neck movements. I'm not sure if you saw that several days ago, but getting him on some vitamin E, B1 and Selenium is a good idea. I believe I listed some food/veggies that you could use to get those vitamins and minerals. Do you still have that information?
