i have a two year old rooster who i noticed about a month ago losing a little weight.now i picked him up and he has no breast at all very skinny.i gave him oxytretacycline 1cc in the breast.
i heard a litttle rattles but no signs of crd.his poop was green for a few days now it looks normal.hes very weak eating very little,legs wobbly.
hes not doing well and think hes not gonna make it unless i can fixem up.
i appreciate all feedback,very special rooster need yall help thanks peace
 
We need more info as this "symptom" could indicate any number of things (or combinations ).
What have you been feeding him? Do you have any supplements?
Where are you located and what is the environment 9including temps) there? What is his housing and bedding?
Do you have access to a vet?
 
weathers been pretty hot.
roosters bben a pen by himself,
symptoms are weak,wobbly legs and small rattles at night.
i gave him oxytratcyline and nothing else but fresh water and feed,hes normal feed as alsways.
i been having mice problems,my two little friends(cats )have been doing an ok job but i still see many at night in the pens where the cats cant get them.
i also feed on the ground .im thinking they maybe ate some mice poop with their feed and caught some nasty disease.greens etc..btw his poo was real ugly dark fluorescent green for a day or two.
 
can i give him a cc of tylan in the am and a cc of oxytrtaclyne at night.
would that help or hurt him?bad interaction??
 
It will be impossible via the internet and limited info given to say whether this is a disease or management problem (I suspect both) so I could not possible advise you in regards to the antibiotic solution you propose.
>>> Feeding on the ground is always a bad management practice > I suggest a feeder and then on a hard surface that you can clean up each evening (will also help to deal with the rodent problem you reported) Feed spoils quite easily and this can lead to enteritis (which can get out of hand and turn into necrotic enteritis and kill your bird) so please switch to a feeder is my first advice.

My second suggestion would be to remove your bird for a few weeks from the current situation... a dog carrier perhaps or a covered pen > you able to monitor his symptoms better.
