***OKIES in the BYC III ***

i have a weird question or ya, in talking to someone online- she is snowed in and has a chick sick with crd- is there any meds she can give to help her? She does have duramycin, but nothing else... here is a pic of the poor thing

If the bird is gasping and keeping her eyes closed- I've never been able to save one that got to that point. But I had one almost there that I forced to drink 2-3 tsp of Duramycin water every few hours + 1/2 CC tylan shot twice a day for a few days and I managed to save her. I used a child medicine syringe and stick it down the throat and shoot about 1/2 tsp in, let the bird breath and swallow, and then repeat. If they don't drink they won't get better! Also I rubbed VetRX over her comb, beak, and eyes, and pressed it on the roof of her mouth with a Q-tip (in the choanal slit). I figured it could only help, sort of like how much Vicks vaporub helps to rub on your chest when you're congested. Good luck to your friend!

One has angel wings. Not sure if that's something you want. If I can find embdens or Toulouse I'll let these two go. I offered them to a friend but you'll be next in line if she can't take them at the time I find their replacements.

I don't know. That's why I use VetRX which is fine for chickens, I was COMPARING it to Vick's Vaporub in its use.

Gird your loins and get ready for this... go into the feminine area at the pharmacy and get some yeast infection cream, like Monistat. Don a rubber glove and apply the cream to her vent. Feed her copious amounts of plain yogurt in her food, and a splash of apple cider vinegar in her water.

Thanks will give this a try.
