Is it mareks?

This is his eye on day 4 of Tylan 50 1/2 a cc before I rinsed it. I started the Microcyn AH last night (of course TSC didn't have vetericin or the Terramycin). I've noticed it isn't oozing blood from where he scratched the skin off. Anything else I can do? Bump up dosage?





This is what I got.

For fella.

The bubbles in the eye would be an indication of Mycoplasma G.

You may want to try increasing your Tylan50 dosage a little bit. How much does he weigh?
The Terramycin would be best since it is an antibiotic ointment for the eyes, where the Microcyn is antibiotic free, but it may be helpful and soothing to, so use it. All of that stuff is $$.

Try to keep him going. I'm sorry he is not responding to the meds.

Thank you again.

He's acting normal, eating well, and drinking without a problem. None of the others are harassing him. None of the others have any symptoms except one pullet his same age who has been sickly from day one and also has a large fowl pox blister on her eyelid. Her eye just started getting weepy so I went ahead and started treating her too. I'm thinking I'm going to double the dosage on the both of them (1 full cc) for the next three days and see if that helps. He weighed 22 ounces a couple of days ago.

Is this something that will eventually pass? He just looks so pitiful.

He may eventually recover, but he will remain a carrier of the virus for life. Any birds exposed can become ill (show symptoms) as well or contract the virus. Some may never show any symptoms, but can become carriers as well.

*Sigh* Well. Shoot.

*Sigh* Well. Shoot.

We went ahead and culled the cockeral yesterday. He was steadily getting worse and I didn't want to keep him as a reservoir for the disease or to pass on genes from him if he was that susceptible to the bacteria. None of the other 15 showed any signs, even though they were exposed to him. Thank you for all of your help! All the others seem to be doing well.

You made a tough decision. Sometimes if there is no improvement with treatment, culling is the kindest thing to do.
