My sweetest hen is sick, someone suggested it may be Coryza. She does not have foul smell, no diarrhea. She is eating and drinking excellently. I have been treating her and keeping her inside for 3 days. I watched the videos and have done all they say, there is no puss at all. I am snowed in and don’t know what else to do to help her. Any advice would be so appreciated.

Oh, oh my. That’s a big infection. @Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive @MysteryChicken

I was on their original thread, a day, or two ago.

I've never dealt with anything like this. Only eye injury, & sinus infection I've treated. Both were 1 bird from the same coop.

Injured blind eye that I've healed.

He was spurred by another rooster.

How does it feel? Fluidity, airy?

How did you treat it

 

[MysteryChicken]

How did you treat it

Mild salt water wipe/flush, & terramycin eye ointment. I did the flush for several weeks, then treated with terramycin until the tube was gone. I cleaned with mild salt water before applying two drops of the eye ointment. I did this every day.

It feels a little hard, no fluidy it squishy

I forgot, I did use plain non pain Relieving Triple Antibiotic ointment before the Terramycin arrived.
