Omg Please Help Me

[MamaRoo]

Just do the best you can to help them through this. If anyone is lying down, try to keep her in a natural position (not on her side). Maybe try a small pillow to keep her head up if it's hanging down. Just stay calm and think through every action before you do it. Make sure anything you do doesn't restrict their breathing further. Keep them comfortably warm so they aren't working at that.

OK, I'm gonna grab him since he is the only one who seems to be worst off right now, I will hold him all night long to keep his head up. The others are keeping themselves up so, perhaps they will pull threw.

I am praying for you and you chickens

OMG. I am so sorry, but keep calm and do not beat yourself up. you were trying to help. Keep the birds calm and warm, but with good ventilation for maximum oxygen. it has to work it's way through their system. Good luck.

How can you be certain that their condition is due to the injection and not to the ailment for which you were initially treating them? Not all ailments respond to antibiotics, these birds could have been acting like this anyway because of their illness.

Be as gentle with yourself as you would be towards a friend who made the same mistake. You were trying to do all you could to care for your birds and made a math error. There are others who wouldn't have put forth the same effort to care for their chickens, but just let them decline on their own. Your intentions were very good.

With chickens it seems we must live & learn and sometimes learn the hard way. You know that you won't ever make the same mistake again, and you've also helped many others to learn from your experience.

Talking with a friend of mine on FB and she said chickens can usually tolerate up to twice the dosing(of course that's not recommended) and yours had a bit more than that.
Supportive care and if you're able, try to hold a water dish under their beaks and dunk their beaks(be careful not to dunk their nares) to get them to drink.
I sure hope they do OK for you.

She said Tylan has a fairly short life and if they make it for 12 hours, they MAY do OK.
Praying for you and your birds.

 

[KandiandJerry]

x2 if they make it 12 hours they will probably be ok... for sure try to get them to drink if possible

I was told to give them the Tylan 50 because, the one silkie that is doing the worst right now, he was making bubbles with his nose. I was told he had a sinus infection, the other silkie she had a swelled and closed eye, I tried putting ointment in her eye but it wasn't helping plus it was getting crusty. The Jap Bantam, she was sneezing, coughing with a snotty nose as well. The cochine I can't think right now why I was giving it to her. My mind is going a hundred miles a minute right now OH yeh, same symtoms as the bantam. Ok I have the silkie in my bed with his head up. He's still breathing kind of heavy and hard. It's been 3 hours and 31 minutes. If he or she pulls threw how many hours would you say needs to go by before we can say he's in "safe mode". I can't hear him wheezing.
