*** OKIES in the BYC ***

[m.ruzycki]

Evening all, quick question. Ive got a few sickies and Igot some Sulmet and Duramycin for them, should I use both at the same time or not?

I was panicing for a while this evening - my modem wasn't working! It did that a couple of days ago and I was able to get going again after I unplugged it for 10 seconds. This time I took more tries and shutting down and a bunch of other cable wiggling. Not sure what really fixed it but I'm glad I'm back. I am quite a homebody but this snow is even testing me. After feeding and watering my chickens and Jack's and while baking cookies today I cleaned all the floors, toilets, all the kitchen, reseasoned the big iron skillet, and did two loads of laundry. Yesterday I worked on a couple of drawings and necklaces and read a couple of chapters of "Birdology"; on hummingbird rehab and falconry (sp). Tomorrow?

m.ruzycki - Sickies is too general a term. Describe the symptoms so folks can help you better.

Banjojoe - nice truck, borrowed my son-in-laws 4x4 tonight. I am going to have to get me one for sure.

MJgigax - Who is your ISP? Ours did that a few months ago and had to get a new modem. Still cuts out some, looking at a ISP called @link, might go with them.

If it's coryza, here's what's listed online for treatment:

TREATMENT AND CONTROL:

Flock medication with a sulfonamide or antibiotic is recommended. Various sulfonamides -- sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfaqumnline (SQ), sulfamet hazine (sulmet) are all effective; however, sulfadimethoxine is the safest and the one prescribed as treatment of choice. SQ and Sulmet are more toxic and require intermittent administration. Therapy in the drinking water will give more immediate response and reduce the severity of the disease. Feed administration of the sulfa or antibiotic does extend the period of treatment for better control. A combination treatment approach is advisable. Administer medication in the drinking water until medicated feed can be provided. Antibiotics that are beneficial include tetracycline, erythromycin, spectihomycin and tylosin. All are safe and approved for use in poultry. Control cannot be accomplished with drugs alone. Management is equally important. A bacterin is available that can be used in a control or eradication program. The bacterin requires multiple injections to be effective which makes it costly and cumbersome for commercial flocks. Control requires attention to flock sanitation, biosecurity, preventive medication, clean and sanitary premises, and disease-free replacements.
