Help! I am in Coccidias and Worm Hell!

[LoLoGarrett]

I feel the same situation as you. Worms are the least of my worries now, because i have the chronic respiratory fight on my hands. I hover around a flock size of 60 birds, all varying ages. Worms is the easy part, it's the mucous and puffy face. I will follow this thread to see how you turn out. At least you don't have mites too. Mites are more destrucrive than worms.

Anyway, i treat the puffy face with a sulfa antibiotic and tilosin. The first sign of illness, i always deworm the night before so i know they are out of the equation.

My sulfa medicine is not working well, but it does something a little bit, helps with the puffiness. The best thing i do is keep their face and eyes clean for them. They really appreciate it, and it makes them fight harder knowing you are there helping. I can get rid of the puffy face, but they have chronic mucous the medicone does not treat 100%

Thank you for the info! 60 is really a lot to tend to with illnesses. Bless you!

Had the mite issue, keeping fingers crossed they are wiped out.

I will keep you posted on how it all turns out. Praying good! And you as well!

So what is the Cecal? Anything that I need to be worried about?

Cecal poop are generally thicker and stickier than 'normal' poop and often lack the white cap

Sadly, Lavender passed away yesterday. Found her lying on her side in chicken yard, returning from picking up the Tylosin to help with her respiratory problem.

This morning I ministered Tylosin to each of the reds, as they all 5 are sneezing and shake their heads often, as well as runny noses. The 4 remaining youngsters all still seem fine, fingers crossed they continue to thrive. They have really grown recently, while Lavender seemed to get smaller.

Question, can the Tylosin be added to their water or will that hurt the healthy ones? I got a little confused between two my reds this morning and worried about making the mistake of double dosing one and completely missing the other. Also what should be the correct amount? I gave 1 mil this morning.

Thanks!

Hi! So sorry for all that your dealing with right now!! My heart goes out to you and your girls!

I recently dealt with respiratory issues and I treated my entire flock not just the ones that were showing symptoms. I used 1 tsp of Tylosin per gallon of water for 7 days. I just put it in there waterer. It does need to be remixed and the water changed everyday. Protip: add the tylosin BEFORE you add water, it will mix so much better!!

I hope everyone is on the mend soon!

I'm sorry to hear she died.

What do you have - Tylosin powder or Injectable Liquid?
You mention dosing at 1ml this morning?

Tylosin Powder is 1tsp per gallon of water, add water to the powder.

Tylosin (Tylan) injectable is given orally 3 times a day. If you have the injectable, let us know if you have Tylan50 or 200 so we can help you figure the dosing.

Good morning. It is the injectable Tylosin 200. I have only administered the first round yesterday, but nothing more yet, because I did not want to do it wrong, making matters worse.
