Right my girls have been sick , with sneezing ( not all) a bit of mucus from nose .. not all, one with swollen eye, they have been on baytril and now some other type of antibiotic( cant remember name)
Vet took loads of tests, she said they have Trichomonas, which she wants to treat after we get the Chalmydia test back.
She says the Protozoan is not that bad and only a side effect of something else.
Anyway today she calls and said that they trecheal test ( down the throat)
shows a massive Candida Thrush infection!
So now she wants me to dose them up with Sporonox ?!
I looked the medication up and it comes out to be a humane med?
does anyone know anything about this ?
she said it comes in little capsules and I have them open them then count the kernels inside I should medicate 30 kernels per Kilo bird ..!! for 3-4 weeks !!
Anyone have any ideas abou ttreating thrush in chickens? to me this sounds a bit wacky ..
I asked if she had something else to treat the candida with but she said nothing that wouldnt give them liver function failiur or possibly worst .
This has cost me over £200 ($350) in vet bills and Im starting to feel hopeless.
Ive lost 2 birds ( to completely different symphtoms...
My girls are happy , scratching laying , moving and eating alot!
Vet also said that due to the antibiotic they might have developed the candida she failed to think abou that when she took the test they werent even ON Antibiotics????
2 are sneezing but they seem healthy , I have a bit of funny poos every now and then and alot of water poops...
Do you think I should stick with what she is saying ??
Or ??
I feel helpless...
Kind regards
Kat
