Thank you all. I bought some Sevin 5 and I will dust them in the morning. I checked on them tonight and one original girl (not a new one) has a tummy nose now. I am freaking out. I just can't lose her. She is my love bug.

They've all been exposed now, to anything each other flock had prior. I don't know that isolating them at this point will help.

You should get some 'vitamins and electrolytes' powder from the feed store for their water, and just to use a sledge hammer on whatever might be being passed around, to prevent it from becoming chronic, I'd order Denagard right away from QC Supply and put everyone on it. Besides Baytril, which you'd need a vet to get, it's the only thing I know that is capable of preventing MS or MG from becoming a chronically carried disease.

Best of luck, and be sure to give them yogurt with live cultures during and after treatment to keep a healthy gut.

Hope you get that smell taken care of!
