NEED HELP Sick Turkey

[truillusions]

I have a he. Broad Breasted bronze turkey, she is 6 months old, last few days she has become inactive and head hanging low, very slow to eat and drink, does not want to move around a whole lot, I notice when she was drinking the other day she had mucus in her mouth, also when I pick her up I can hear gurgling sound inside, she does drink a lot like she is dehydrated, I would like to get medicine from Tractor Supply but do not know what to get, please help

Duramycin-10 is an antibiotic I use when they get colds. Also I would suggest to get some VetRx and electrolytes.

We have been very lucky with our turkeys but we have had a few chickens get the raspy cold symptoms. We ordered Oxine AH on line and put it in a cool mist vaporizer (3 teas per 2 cups of water). Then put the bird in a kennel and cover it with a blanket so that they have to breathe the mist. Has worked every time. One to three treatments and the congestion is gone.

Most likely blackhead. Sorry for your loss.

Yes. And no, not contagious to humans, but you shouldn't eat the the dead turkey. Read the link in my post above.
