Need help flock has fowl pox

[pittmanbirds]

Can someone help me by telling me what needs to be done to cure fowl pox

To the best of my knowledge you just have to let it run its course since it is a virus. Make sure birds are eating, drinking and non stressed and be on the look out for secondary bacterial infections.

Hoe do you force them to stay hydrated and eating because it seems like they lost all appitite

 

[sourland]

Do they have lesions on their eye lids that make it difficult for them to see?

 

[pittmanbirds]

Yes

Drop a PM to casportpony she has dealt with this problem. Also type 'treating fowl pox' in the search bar at the top of the page. A lengthy thread pertinent to the problem will appear. Good luck.

I pick the scabs off their eyes so they can see. If still not drinking/eating they get tube fed.
