Help: My Broiler rooster is sick

[Saaniya]

My hen had the same problem. I discovered her sickness early when she started to poop watery cereal and did not eat. I gave her my anti-biotic Penicillin (for human) wrapped in a small piece of cheese (the only food she never could refuse even when sick). She gladly ate it. I fed her 3 times a day at a very small dose of about 3 or 5% the size of my pill each time. I kept feeding her for 4 days until I used up a whole pill. She was completely cured. But important thing to note is even after she shows sign of recovery, you must keep feeding for another 2 days. I stopped the pill the first time I tried it when she stared to look normal, she got sick again in 2 weeks. So the second time I kept feeding her even after she looked cured.

His also on antibiotic doing well

Goldie how long it took your hen to heal completely and how long you had to provide her the medicines to completely heal her

Every antibiotic takes 5-7 to 10 days course mild cases required 5 days only
Like ur rooster stop sneezing after 1 day he'll stop his medicine on 5th day easily

Overheating didn't heal until cold weather and overheating is not disease its common every chicken face this

Yes The sneezing part is totally gone after one day if nedox. But still I am continuing. So I need to give that medicine for 3 more days.

5days course is ideal .
Also long term antibiotic like 15 days makes them lost their all good bacteria

It shouldn't take long. As a matter of fact, my hen looked 50% better the 2nd day. If your chicken has been sick for a while, it may take longer to cure. After 2, 3 days she seemed to have recovered. But it can be misleading. She needs to be fed medicine continuously for another 2 days afterwards to rid of the virus (or bacteria) completely.

Just wanted to update status of my sick rooster.

He is doing fine now after 10 long days. Tried everything starting from electrolytes to nutridrench to the medicine prescribed by @Saaniya . @staceyj backed me up from the beginning to rethink about the diet of chicken. Especially I thank both of them for an extraordinary help received. For roister breed it's "Leghorn". As per diet I am currently feeding garlic water, Yougart with bread crumbs , Bajra(Millet) and sometimes corn(my roosters don't like corn... I don't know the reason) and last but not least ... lots of water ... like everytime in 1 hr. Duration. Kept them in front of fan everytime due to our hot and humidity at our place. He is back to normal. The medicine I used is neodox forte 50g for chickens.for 4 days. I have been advised to give 5 days course.
A lot to thanks to everyone helping me atleast a bit at my hard times.
God bless you all.
