Chicken not standing long

[HuskerHens18]

What was wrong with those two animals?

@casportpony Do you know this Nexcel medicine?

Unfortunately I don't remember what happened with the duck, he was having issues walking and balance issues. I gave him the injection daily for 10 days and he got better.
The chicken had a swollen face and vet gave me Naxcel again to treat for a respiratory infection.
Both animals are still alive and well.

Please excuse I am really dumb, since it says it's active against gram positive and negative, does that mean it will help treat the bumblefoot? In the least get him through a few more days?

I don't know but I am thinking it might.
Can you call the vet that prescribed it to you and ask him if it will treat bumblefoot tomorrow morning?

It sounds like it would, I'm just not gifted in medical and bacteria knowledge. To me, active against means it fights it.
Yeah I should be able to, if he's there. He's got the worst hours so I'll cross my fingers he's in the office when it opens. I can always call his wife, she's usuallllly in the back

Then I will. Thank you so much

Unfortunately he is dying... he is no longer conscious. The only reason I can tell he's "alive" is he is barely breathing. Thanks everyone for your help, I guess this is not my year for chickens as I'm just about at 20 deaths since June.

I’m so sorry. Did you lose him? I just read through this thread and it’s very obvious to me he needs a heat source. Bringing him in and providing heat would be my first move if he hasn’t passed yet.

I say that because
• He prefers the sun.
• He wanted to cuddle constantly with his cage mate.

He did pass away early this morning. I was wondering if I should do that, but it has been 90's all the way to 105° so I felt conflicted about what was better for him.
My dad wondered if his flockmates crushed him during a thunderstorm (timing would be right) and that's why they were picking on him the next day, he was weak and internally injured.
My 4 month olds won't use their roosts, they pile in the corner no matter what I've tried.
