Need advice

[Memaw karen]

This is my Turkey hen around 7 months old. I’m freaking out scared it’s Mycoplasma. I’ve had them from 6 weeks old with no issues. They are in a new barn, individual stalls keeping my breeds and birds separate. No other issues with any birds I have. She has been sneezing I was assuming from Kentucky whether we’ve been having. Runs are cleaned weekly. I haven’t brought in any new birds. I removed her today and placed her in a kennel by herself. No avian vets in my local area. I don’t want to lose my entire flock.

It looks like your turkey has a serious sinus infection. Can you get any antibiotics and do you think you can lance those abscesses?

I can lance them. I have LA200. Will that work? Or do I need to get something different

I would get some Baytril, then lance.

MG can be a cause of the swollen sinuses and respiratory infection. You can try some oral antibiotics, such as enrofloxacin (baytril10% liquid,) tylosin (Tylan,) or oxytetracycline. Here is a video of trying to gently squeeze pus out of sinus from the eye openings:

Thank you. Is it possible for one to have a sinus infection abscess without having Mycoplasma
