First he looked at the eggs, then he felt her abdomen. Then he said "it looks like mild peritonitis, we'll put her on linco. That should clear it up."
I hope she responds quickly. Peritonitis is worrying.
Yeh, but in this case, it's an early catch so I'm hopeful
I'll be watching her closely.
Her oral thrush is back with a vengeance so Nilstat twice a day for two weeks. The vet gave her an antibiotic injection for mycoplasma and said she needs one a week for six to eight weeks, but as she’s responding so well, I hope it won’t have to be for that long.
What are her mycoplasma symptoms Loz?
Well bear in mind until Elizabeth died I had two that were pretty tough to distinguish. So i have had some practice. Diana always had more white on her rump and helpfully over time developed white flecks on her head.
Oh yes 100%. And when it works out it is easier for everyone.
River had swelling under one eye, which was weeping. The vet said it was a blocked sinus, plus the gunk had blocked up one ear. The next day it looked the swelling had gone down and she was a lot more animated. I don’t know what mycoplasma is, it’s just the term he used.
Mycoplasma is a bacterium that commonly causes respiratory infections in chickens.
I was speaking to a man that raises chickens and he said that when this circle forms it is coming to the end of their laying eggs.
