Nasal flush for sinus infection

How much garlic do you put in one cup of oil?

8 ounces is a clove of garlic sliced, after the 3-5 days of shaking it in the jar, you removed the garlic and use the infused oil

Update: she has now been on the ostilox and sulfatrim for 12 days. She was getting better And the swelling had reduced. But this morning her eye is almost shut again and the bulge under eye is worse than ever. I’m at a loss. I cannot spend any more money on this chicken.

I'm sorry that she is not improving

Were you able to press any of the gunk out of her beak or from the eye?

I’m taking her to a different doctor. He’s apparently cheaper and has really good reviews- let’s see how it goes. I’m just so upset right now

Please let us know how the vet visit goes.

Please let us know how the vet visit goes.

So he gave her a shot of Baytril and said to let him know how she’s doing tomorrow. Keeping a close eye on her. Have her isolated to make sure she’s getting a chance to eat and drink in peace.
There’s snot coming out of her beak now. It’s been about 2 hrs since he dozed her. Fingers crossed it makes her feel better.

Sorry that she is getting worse again. I would try pressing the pus out of the sinus as shown in the videos in post 3. Or ask the vet to do it. The longer it remains the more solid the pus gets, and might have to be cut out.

So the Baytril is working and the swelling in her sinus is almost completely gone. What I am concerned with is the fact that Baytril is not FDA approved in poultry. Doc said so long as we don’t eat her it will be fine and 20 day withdrawal for eggs. But I’m not sure about the eggs either any more (she isn’t laying yet, but when she does I’m not sure we are gonna eat those eggs )

Anyone with input on Baytril and egg withdrawal ?

Baytril (enrofloxacin) was banned by the FDA for chickens in 2005, mainly to prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant campylobacter bacteria. Since then the resistant bacteria has decreased. Some vets still prescribe it for pet chickens that are not going to be used commercially or eaten. It is a controversial subject, since most antibiotics that treat certain serious infections are banned or prescription only. Whatever side of the argument you are on, this study showed that enrofloxacin is found in egg up to 26 days after discontinuing the drug:
