Infectious Bursal Diseases

I had a post mortein done of 3 chicks and they had infectious bursal disease-now what should I do?
Give amoxicillin?

I am so upset-my very pricey and loved chicks are dying one after another

Give amoxicillin?

So sorry for your loss.

You rock for getting post mortum!

Anti biotics will not do anything for viral infections as they work on bacteria but not viruses. They MIGHT help a secondary infection, but that only counts if there is something secondary.

Do you have any probiotics or vitamins you can offer to support their own immune system while the T cells rally to fight the virus?

I'm gonna do some more research as I haven't heard of or dealt with this specifically before. Hang in there!

Thank you so much. I am very grateful. God bless people like you for helping out. Yes there are vitamins and I will give it to them on daily basis then.
