I'm trying to find a remedy for my chicken. She is coughing and spitting up mucous. I got her Vet RX which I had rubbed on her tonight.. it's kind of like the vapor rub that humans use. I was doing additional research and found this on another chicken forum:
When chickens are down with respiratory diseases such as newcastle, coryza and CRD (Chronic Respiratory Disease), one of the symptoms is usually mucus clogging the throat and wind pipe. This mucus usually end up chocking the bird to death.
I've come across an effective way to cut across this mucus, and that is by using a suitable antibiotic that contains BROMEHEXINE. Few example of such drugs are enflox, conflox, enrofloxacin, bromeflox etcc. The listed drugs contains Enrofloxacin, an antibiotic that is ban in many countries due to antibiotic resistance in man. If it is ban in your country, you can go for other drugs for respiratory diseases, but they should also contain Bromehexine. It is the Bromehexine that cut through the mucus and take the antibiotics farther into the lungs.
I'm having a hard time finding antibiotics like this person is talking about... but i'm thinking maybe they are not in the USA and we do not carry this? Is there anything that I can give the chicken orally to help with this condition? TIA!
