So I've been giving them tylosin. They seem like they improved some but they're still sick. I'm exhausted. Any other suggestions? The other chicks started getting the infections one by one as well. My white silkie ended up dying while we were at freshmen orientation for our nephew, but I truly think it was due to an accident. I believe it hurt itself. The other olive got it, then the buff & finally the polish. The buff did have some severe puss that I would drain from her eye & after a few days she started having a smell. The tylosin helped lessen the symptoms but tomorrow would be an entire week that they've been given the antibiotics & they still have the eye infections. I'm planning on getting one of the sick chicks (probably the buff since she hasn't the puss & smell the worst) one of my hatched chicks to make sure I didn't accidently contaminate them), and one of my regular flock to make sure they didn't pick anything up (we dumped the sick chick's shavings.in our fire pit & one of the boys forgot to close it after dumping the flakes... I found the pit open with shaving spread out days later) I'm having tests done for MG & coryza.I'm glad they are improving!
Good job and working the ointment into the eyes. Just keep going like you are, but if you can, it would be a good idea to have the Tylosin on hand just in case you need it.
