EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[RRLaney]

A vet would be best, but I know they're not always an option. That said, I just looked in Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook and it appears the two drugs, tylosin and praziquantel, are okay to use together.

Tylan 50 will only treat a narrow range of bacteria, like mycoplasma, it will not treat E. coli or pseudomonas, which are very common in birds with respiratory infections. Tylan also needs to be given more than once a day, so it's possible she is being under-medicated.

All sick birds will be dehydrated, and they usually lose a little weigh each day. If she were mine I would have her in a warm room and I would tube fluids, then food if she wasn't making daily weight gains, and I can teach you how to tube if you want. I'd probably also start her on Baytril (enrofloxacin), but Baytril is banned for use in poultry, so that's something to consider.

Wow thank you! So I did find a vet in the area, it's gonna be a little pricey but we'll see if we can save this one.
They are culturing her poop, giving her fluids and tube feeding, and starting her on doxycycline in the meantime to start treatment till we get the culture results. I'm assuming they'll want me to keep her on the Tylan too or something else but I'll confirm that and the dose with them.
Will this one tube feed and fluids be enough if she starts getting better?
Can't thank you enough for looking that up for me.

If it's like my Janoel or my Janoel knockoff, it just has a humidity sensor.

I must be missing something here. I'm just going to sit here quietly and see what the rest of you come up with.

It has channels for the water and a humidity sensor that you can set to go off at whatever % you want it to go off at. The only options for controlling humidity are to run dry, run with one or more channels filled, or add a sponge, cup, whatever. It's not like my RCOM where you "set" the humidity and just keep filling the reservoir. Does that make sense?

-Kathy
Oh, I understand all that. My biggest hangup is why someone would manufacture an incubator with all those electronic bells & whistles, yet not provide any usable vents. .

Off topic, but someone here might know.

Let's say that someone accidentally put bad gas in their child's 4-wheeler and now the 4-wheeler does not work. Is there any hope of fixing it? I have since drained all of the bad gas out.

Yes, you will need to, fix/replace the fuel injection system of the ignition, feul pump and filter, and you will need to wash the fuel tank and all the tubing.

Carburetor(s), fuel lines, and fuel pump, if it has one, need to be drained.

I think it had water in it. Turns out - it was orange in color.

What year, make and model is it? Does the manual say "electronic fuel injected" or does it have carburetor(s)? You might also have to replace the spark plugs.
