infectious coryza? or MG?

[dawg53]

Ok so my hens are actually sick again. This is going on one month!!! I used all of one meds, it didnt break it. Tried another, made it worse, now on another one. Its like they are immune to all the meds now.

If you are sure it's MG, your solution is Denagard. There isn't any resistance to it, not like other antibiotics.

They dont have mg, they have all been tested for that. They have a type of uri.

Cull your sick birds, disinfect everything with oxine including waterers, feeders, coops. Repopulate in 6-8 months. That's the only safe and effective way to end the URI. All antibiotics will become resistant eventually, a waste of time and money and the sick birds will spread it to other birds.

Nah, I dont just give up on my birds. If it comes down to it, I will, but I give them a chance. I have a good connection with my birds. Love my birds

Ive been in contact with the vet, so if all else fails, we will concider it, but want to try first

You're only seeing external symptoms. If you saw what was happening internally to your birds, you wouldn't let them suffer and put them down. I've culled birds for less reasons not wanting them to suffer. Good luck.

Its uri.. people get uri too. Do we just put them out of their misory too? No, we treat them. N they never would of gotten sick if I found the mold in their coop from the time it rained and didnt dry up fast enough. I had to remove 3 piles of mold before it stopped growing.

Get the birds tested to rule out something like mycoplasma, 'cause if it's something like mycoplasma you should *not* be selling *any birds or hatching eggs*, period. Just think of the poor person that you just sold/traded ducks to. How fair is that? If it's not mycoplasma, then your vet can recommend the *proper* antibiotic instead of you just going to TSC and trying different ones to see if they work.

If you aren't going to get them tested, please, stop selling them and/or their eggs!

If its not bacteria, it's probably mold infection and antibiotics won't do anything for it. Once they get it, they can't be cured.

Why do you insist on watching your birds suffer?
