Who knows if this is the disease you are dealing with. There are so many diseases they get, many of which I have never heard of, but I just found those symptoms kind of sounded like yours. There is no antibiotic treatment for FLHS--just the Vitamin E and selenium.

Ok, and here is a better detailed look on what it looked like:
The liver was red, and very big. A green liquid was in the body and he was like, litterally bones. He has had this disease for months.. He has a pale, small comb.

Okay, I don't think it was FLHS or hepatitis E where red liquid is inside the body cavity.

What won't work? The treatment for FLHS?

I am going to treat the whole flock with Duramyacin 10, for a week. The birds that seem infected, will get it for about two weeks.
Does this sound like a good game plan?

Haha...actually, funny that you say that, I don't have a phone yet.. an I Pod though, close enough
Very interesting link, since my dad did the dissecting I will have to ask him a few questions about what it looked like. He made it sound VERY gross...so I am assuming bacterial, my female Buff had brightened up after giving her Theramyacin the first time, but the male never came back around
Next bird that dies of not old age- I am doing that!!! Although I will definitely keep a little record of the findings in that Buff- I think that would help, you know, with diagnosing birds with illnesses. Like the thinness, pale comb and in-avtivenes.
