Cochin pullet having respiratory problem, urgent help needed!

[rh18]

I am going to the vet today as soon as the vet is available... I've saw the internal parasites in her poop and a lot of parasites...
I gave her garlic as I read it is the natural home remedy...

She has become so weak.. Please suggest something to overcome her weakness and boost her immunity system.

What exactly are you doing now? Is she eating, drinking? Any diarrhea? Is she still on the tylosin injections? She could benefit from some probiotics in her water, unless you are treating for coccidosis with Corid. I wonder about her having cocci or worms that is keeping her from feeling better. I'm hoping she starts to improve soon.

I'm giving tylosin in her water. But she is eating little and drinking very little. She had worms in her poops for one day. Her poops are ceacal type now. She is still breathing heavy and sneezing. I want to ask, is it possible that she is having some respiratory problem which can affect other birds? Even if she gets cured, will she be a carrier? Should I keep her with other birds when she doesn't show any symptoms?

If she is not eating and drinking she is not getting much medicine. Tylan 50 injectable 1 ml daily would benefit her. She probably does have a disease that will make her a carrier--most of the respiratory diseases are that way. Did you read the link in post # 5? It describes diseases and treatments. If the other chickens were with her when she got sick they may be exposed. Are you going to worm her or give the probiotics? Valbazen is a good wormer, and works gradually, getting all chicken worms.

I treated her for worms and for respiratory disease. Her condition is worse than ever. Eyes with mucus and shut most of the time, still sneezing and very skinny. It's hard for me but I've decided to cull her tomorrow as I don't want my other birds to get infected. I just wish they are not affected yet.

I'm very sorry about your hen. You might call your state vet office to find out if they can do a necropsy or test her to find the exact disease she has. Some states do it for free, some for a fee, and some will euthanize the chicken if you bring it in. The link to finding your state vet is here: http://agr.wa.gov/FoodAnimal/AnimalHealth/statevets.aspx
