Coryza chicken

[Nicci0110]

Well I have been fighting coryza in one chicken for a month now.
I have tried
Tylan powder
Denegard
Batril
I took her to the vet today. He gave her an injection of LA 300
He gave me a second to do in 3 to 5 days.
Has this treatment worked for anyone?
I'm hoping to save her
I'm aware that I will need to vaccinated my others if she gets better.
If this doesn't work we will have to put her down and that's my first time having yo do this. Luckily my husband will handle it
This is myrtle. Please say a prayer for her. My husband saod she will be a looking chicken if she survives since we cannot eat her eggs

Erythromycin, oxytetracycline, or sulfadimethoxine are the main treatments used for coryza that I know of... but it is a disease that tends to return in severe cases which it sounds like yours might, so even if you get it this time it could come back sooner rather than later.
Gonna tag @Eggcessive for their antibiotic knowledge.

Are you certain that it's Coryza? Coryza presents facial swelling, watery eyes, sneezing, head shaking and rales. There is also an unmistakable foul odor around the head area.
Coryza is very contagious to other birds and birds are carriers of the disease for life.
If in fact it's Coryza, keep the bird away from your flock, practice strict biosecurity. It would be in your best interest to cull and bury it deep far away from your flock or incinerate it.
If you decide to keep the bird (at great risk of infecting other birds), treatment is a sulfa drug such as Sulfadimethoxine or SMZ-TMP in conjunction with an antibiotic such as Tylan or Baytril.

It is definitely coryza. She has all symptoms. Baytril made her better for a bit, then she regressed. I am so tired of having her inside because I also own parrots so I have her separated and have to scrub down in dial and change clothes every time I medicate her. I just feel terrible giving up on her but I think that's what needs to happen if this shot doesn't do something. I intended to vaccinated my others before trying to reintroduce her. She was with them when symptoms started. They never got anything other than gurgling and tylan treated them 100% in 3 days. 3 days later she was shaking her head with bubby eyes. She then got the facial swelling and began to stink about 3 weeks in.

La 300 is oxytetracycline i think!

If there is a bad odor, I would start the sulfa antibiotic that Dawg53 mentioned. Tetracyclines are similar to Tylosin, and are good against MG, but sulfa antibiotics are better for coryza. They can help and be used with sulfa, but sulfa drugs are best for coryza. Coryza is a more serious disease to have in your flock. Many would cull birds with coryza, and then have the state vet do a necropsy to ID what it is.

She was a singular chicken i paid a lot for at a swap meet. I quarantined but 3 weeks later my flock made gurgles. The tylan powder.fixed them almost immediately but then 3 days later they were trying to kill her. My husband heard it and got her out. She's been inside since. Everyone thinks I need to cull. I think my others are fine as it's been about a month. The vet is a horse vet and doesn't seem to know much. This probably won't work then huh?

I just contacted the seller. His response was he never saved one from it and it's a common disease which tells me he's had it in his flock and is still selling birds.

There you go, an unscrupulous seller. I'm sorry you're going through this. Perhaps you can contact your local agriculture extension office and notify them.

I'm so disappointed. I paid 50.00 for this one chicken because I wanted a zombie so bad and I drove an hour and a half. I know I'm gonna have to put her down and I'm so heartbroken. I know I've easily spent 300.00 trying to get her well between meds and the vet
