I found gape worm in a necropsy of dead bird and started treating for gape worms with eprinex pour on. Still had some problems so I started on safeguard in the water 2 days ago. This morning I had 2 dead birds that showed the gape worm gaping last night. Necropsy by myself revealed no gape worms in windpipe??? Both birds had a yellow fluid in the windpipe but no gape worm. Tonight I will vaccinate all birds showing the gaping motion with half cc of tylan. What in the world is going on?? Any ideas by anyone. I performed necropsy on five birds 2 had gape worm 3 did not. Gaping symptoms were the same in all 5 birds One of the dead birds was a 5 mo old roo in perfect health 3 days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
