CRD-Emergency

[naveed05]

Hi friends,
My rooster is almost 2yrs old. He s affected by Respiratory problems CRD. I treat him with Oxytetracyline HCL. For past few days,there s mucus or some kind of foamy spit present inside his mouth. whenever he tries eating something,he spits them out lik vomitting. I googled and found that ACV can help him cure,but after alot of search i only manage to buy the ACV from a local supermarket. But everyone advice to use the RAW,unpasterized ACV. i cant find that here. I tried online,but they are way too costly. iam from india. Can someone help him with his,please..

Store bought vinegar will do the same job. The only thing missing will be some of the vitamins. You're looking for the 'thinning' effect with what you are trying to do, correct? Use what you have, 1 tbls. to 1 gallon of water. ACV will not cure whatever is wrong, it will help but that's pretty much it. I've added a couple of things here for you to look at as the foamy spit in his mouth gave me pause. I'm not there and cannot see, so wanted you to look at these and then go back and re-evaluate the symptoms. It may be nothing but please check.

Infectious Laryngotracheitis
Synonyms: LT, ILT, trach, laryngo
Species affected: Chickens and pheasants are affected by LT. Chickens 14 weeks and older are more susceptible
than young chickens. Most LT outbreaks occur in mature hens. In recent years, LT
has also caused significant respiratory problems in broilers greater than 3 weeks of age,
especially during the cooler seasons of the year. This is believed to be due to unwanted
spread of LT vaccines between poultry flocks.
Clinical signs: The clinical sign usually first noticed is watery eyes. Affected birds remain quiet because
breathing is difficult. Coughing, sneezing, and shaking of the head to dislodge exudate
plugs in the windpipe follow. Birds extend their head and neck to facilitate breathing
(commonly referred to as “pump handle respiration”). Inhalation produces a wheezing
and gurgling sound. Blood-tinged exudates and serum clots are expelled from the trachea
of affected birds. Many birds die from asphyxiation due to a blockage of the trachea when
the tracheal plug is freed (see Table 1).
Transmission: LT is spread by the respiratory route. LT is also spread from flock to flock by contaminated
clothing, shoes, tires, etc. Birds that recover should be considered carriers for life.
LT may be harbored in speciality poultry such as exhibition birds and game fowl.
Treatment: Incinerate dead birds, administer antibiotics to control secondary infection, and vaccinate
the flock. Mass vaccination by spray or drinking water method is not recommended for
large commercial or caged flocks. Individual bird administration by the eye-drop route
is suggested. Follow manufacturers instructions. In small poultry flocks, use a swab to
remove plug from gasping birds, and vaccinate by eye-drop method.
Prevention: Vaccinate replacement birds for outbreak farms. Vaccination for LT is not as successful
as for other disease, but is an excellent preventive measure for use in outbreaks and in
epidemic areas. Refer to the publication PS-36 (Vaccination of Small Poultry Flocks) for​

more information on LT vaccinations.

Fowl Pox
Synonyms : chicken pox (not to be confused with chicken pox in humans; the human disease does not
affect poultry and vice versa), sore head, avian diphtheria, bird pox
Species affected : Most poultry -- chickens, turkeys, pheasants, quail, ducks, psittacine, and ratites -- of all
ages are susceptible.
Clinical signs : There are two forms of fowl pox. The dry form is characterized by raised, wart-like lesions
on unfeathered areas (head, legs, vent, etc.). The lesions heal in about 2 weeks. If the scab
is removed before healing is complete, the surface beneath is raw and bleeding. Unthriftiness
and retarded growth are typical symptoms of fowl pox. In laying hens, infection
results in a transient decline in egg production (see Table 1 ).
In the wet form there are canker-like lesions in the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.
The wet form may cause respiratory distress by obstructing the upper air passages. Chickens
may be affected with either or both forms of fowl pox at one time.
Transmission : Fowl pox is transmitted by direct contact between infected and susceptible birds or by
mosquitos. Virus-containing scabs also can be sloughed from affected birds and serve as
a source of infection. The virus can enter the blood stream through the eye, skin wounds,
or respiratory tract. Mosquitos become infected from feeding on birds with fowl pox in
their blood stream. There is some evidence that the mosquito remains infective for life.
Mosquitos are the primary reservoir and spreaders of fowl pox on poultry ranges. Several
species of mosquito can transmit fowl pox. Often mosquitos winter-over in poultry​

houses so, outbreaks can occur during winter and early spring.

thanks alot... as far as my observation,after these foamy mouth happens only while eating.. respiration seems normal except the sound like wheezing thats a common respiratory illness... ACV helps in clearing the mucus to an extent i guess,after reading alot of information from Internet. keeping my finger crossed.

Your last post reminded of this link. Check your feed and the ACV shouldn't hurt at all.
