My silkie hen has been sneezing along with very slight facial swelling, and occasional subtle gasping. I suspect cmd, as she's had this come and go her whole life with no issues, however with the weather being extremely cold and her molt, she was definitely struggling. She's now living in the house. I gave her first ever injection of LA-200 a couple days ago, following the info from this post on dosing LA-200. I gave her the appropriate dose in the breast, she weighs 2.57 lbs so I give her 0.5ml. She literally laid an egg 30 mins later lol. And she hasn't laid in a couple months! And she has ceased sneezing the 2nd day. Her nostrils has opened up significantly! ![Grinning face with smiling eyes :smile: 😄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
And today, I gave her the second dose. I noticed that her nose was running a bit and she was sneezing occasionally
. Nostrils are nice and open, but I saw a bit of clear discharge. I don't know if it's because she was nosing around in the bedding as she is more active, or it could be her feather dust irritating her.
I'm worried it's a relapse of cmd, and I wanna know is it normal for things to get better, then worse, then better again? I might be speaking too soon, as I just started the second dose, and I get that's the point of a 2nd dose lol. Should I go for a third dose on the 6th day to be safe? I don't want to overdo it, but I also don't want to not do enough. What would be the cutoff for injections? and should I do a follow up a few weeks later with a smaller dosage?
