Peep breathing problem????

[Wynette]

No, shavings wouldn't cause a respiratory infection.

Were diluting some vet RX and going to see if it helps.

How's your little one today?

 

[vicegrip]

She’s still the same no better no worse. She hates being in a brooder by herself. We gave her some antibiotics last night in her water.



Thanks for asking.

 

[Wynette]

What antibiotics is she on? You could put a small stuffed animal in with her. Some on here do that and it seems to help. Poor thing.

Terramycin (oxytetracycline) Soluble Powder I will try the stuffed animal. It’s sad seeing her like this. But we will keep trying.

 

[Wynette]

I seriously doubt that will help her. That's a mild broad-spectrum; not intended specifically for respiratory. But, I hope she pulls through for you.

What do you thinks the best to use?

That pic is cute

See my post #13.

But it's not a good idea to discontinue an antibiotic once you've started it...you really do need to finish the recommended course or there's a danger of developing antibiotic resistance.
