Between then and December 13 she tried a low dose of Tylan like you did, Corid, Safeguard, a high dose of Tylan and then finally she tried some Baytril that I sent to her. Her chick has gained lots of wait and is now 100%.

Kathy where do you buy your Baytril I need to order some mine is out of date.

Whats some good foods to try to get her to eat. She will only eat peas...Ive put water in the feed to make it soupy but she just barely dips her beak in. But will act like shes starving when i get the peas out.

Have you tried mashing some peas up in her feed?

Best to call and ask what expiration dates are before you buy. The stuff I have expires in 2016, I think.

I will read thru this. Last night she sounded very very congested and wouldnt quack last 2 days. Last night she had first dose of bayril. This morning she has went back to quacking some. And not so congested. Hopefully she will continue to get better

Baytril is an amazing antibiotic and works very quickly. I have some pictures of a peachick with swollen eyes that I used it on. Pictures were taken every few hours and in them you can see a noticeable difference in less than four hours. My peachick was 100% back to normal after three days of Baytril.

I'll try to find those pictures so you all can see what I'm talking about.

here are those pictures of the peachick I was talking about:
Here are some pictures of my first ever sinus infection. Chick weight - 800 grams. Gave 0.16ml of 10% Baytril IM.

Have my first URI in a peachick. Here it is at 9 am:


Four hours later:




Here he is 8 hours later. Note that I have not wiped his face.







28 hours later - still some swelling that is hard to see in pictures and some clear drainage from nostril. Up five grams, which is not enough, but it's better than a loss.




Chick was 100% after just two shots, but gave two more per the recommendation of a vet.
