Coryza Help!

Good link Kathy and I'm bookmarking. However, I believe it's for soluables, not injectables.

For swine the withdrawal for powder is 48 hours, but 14 days for the injectable, from that I would feel safe saying for chikens it's 72 hours for the powder and no less than 14 days for the injectable. But I am not a vet, nor do I have any medical training, so everyone should do a little research of their own.

This is going to drive me crazy now. I know I saved the empty bottle somewhere (I'm not just a chicken hoarder). I will find it and get you a pic. To be fair, I was referring to the water-soluble formula.

I have a quick question on this infection:

If one bird has it and you cull it, do you need to cull all the others because they were exposed? Thanks.

Infectious Coryza has an incubation period of 1 to 3 days. A whole flock can be infected in a little as 10 days. I would cull the sick bird, then closely observe the rest of my birds for symptoms. Keep in mind that with coryza, there's a foul odor around the head area. MG is also associated with coryza.
BTW: If you cull the sick bird, it would be best to get a necropsy performed to find out exactly what you're dealing with. You can contact your local extension office for more information.
