I had a hen that laid soft shelled eggs but now she has stopped laying and has foamy eyes. The vet suspected Mycoplasma and prescribed Tylan soluble which I added to the water for 5 days, she is in a seperate coop but next to the others so she can see them. She still didn't look good so a few weeks later I gave her Tylan again for 5 days. She has gone from looking like she was about to die to eating loads and putting on weight but her eyes are still not great, not as bad as they were but still bubbly.
I don't want to keep her seperate as she is miserable but I don't want her to give it to the others either, I know after reading the articles that she might have passed it on already but none of the others are showing signs.
I don't know whether to just keep her seperate or have her PTS
suggestions please
 
If that is what she has the others already have it too. I'd put her back with her buddies, hopefully they will accept her back in to the flock.
 
I agree, I would get her back into the flock. If she has been separate for more than a few days, use caution to make sure she is not picked on. Close your flock to birds ever leaving the flock since the whole flock may be carriers, even though others have not shown symptoms. MG symptoms can come back, but sometimes it doesn’t. If you ever lose a chicken, have your state vet do a necropsy, where they will also test for MG.
