Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[rbaker0345]

Allright, I need advice. The last two hatches I've had were horrible, wet chicks. I got one good, healthy chick from each hatch and one that lived for a few days but never opened its eyes. What's up with the not opening their eyes thing? Is that like omphalitis, or pneumonia? I injected subQ with baytril for three days on the first one that refused to open its eyes and now I just had another one hatch that I think is going to be the same way. Any suggestions. I think this is just a by-product of shipped eggs and poor handling in transit, but is there any way to salvage a chick that just won't open its eyes? The first one was walking around and chirping and everything, it just wouldn't open its eyes. Do you think its a nutrition thing on top of infection? Maybe I should do some subQ fluids with glucose? Oz, what kind of fluids would you use to add calories and electrolytes along with the fluids? I was injecting them with U100 needles, under the skin near the thigh.

Sally, if you are not feeling better on day 3 of your z pack, call your doctor to rotate onto a different antibiotic. Azithromycin is a VERY strong antibiotic and if you don't see marked improvement by the next day, it should tip you off that something is not right.

Indeed.

Unfortunately, its such a great antibiotic as its so easy to take that its over used and bugs are becoming resistant to it.

In our overseas world of over the counter antibiotics and my wife being an NP, we rotate Augmentin, Bactrum and Clarithromycin for intital infections that have a bacterial component (green snot, pus) and then move onto Z-Packs and Cipro.

I am on day 4 z pack, this is all viral, I am following the EXACT route my kids just took the past few weeks. Today my glands in my neck are now swollen as are my tonsils, eye is still extremely red and now very sore at each corner where its leaking. I began fever this morning as well. I think it just needs to run its course the antibiotics didnt do crap for the kids, well I cant say that it stopped the tonsilitis. But why I would be getting that now on day 4 of zpack dont make sense, anyways I told my husband I am going to start taking the fish flex I have for my dogs. he just looked at me like, why do you have fish food for the dogs. He has no clue what my cupboard holds.

I am allergic to cilins, penicilin ancef, and a bunch of others I never remember along with nifedapine and cat scan dye LMAO!! . I wonder would the cephalexin be in that catagory? DOH good thing I thought of asking!

I hope you feel better soon Sally.

I probably won't be online much next week... It's final exams week. Thankfully they're fairly spaced out.

I just registered for 21 credits next semester. I'm finishing up my generals, so I registered for 7 classes. Fun, fun, fun.

not unless you need extra drama in your life

Sally? Drama? NEVER! Hold your tongue.

Antibiotics don't do anything for viruses, But finish your Z pack because your GP must be afraid of a secondary bacterial infection, especially since your nasopharyngeal system is involved and there are all kinds of nasties that grow up there.

First entered it via pic line when I was so sick with osteomylitis, needless to say I was even closer to death after the drip. But to be honest I dont remember it, My X told me the horror stories several days later : (
