Please help!! I have a sick chicken that's going to die soon

[chicklover1432]

3 days ago my male silver Sebright died from a disease and I could never figure out what it was. His entire head was swollen and it made his eyes sink back into his head and went blind, I tried using Tylan, eye medicine, and medicine for parasites but nothing seemed to make a difference it was like a tumor growing on his brain

the day before he died he mated with my female sebright and now she's getting sick too, bubbles in the eye, eyes sinking back, and the heads starting to swell. I think it's a respiratory problem because there is a clear discharge from the nose

I think that's it thanks so much I don't think I could handle the stress of losing another chicken

Hi,
I am sorry for the loss of your bird and the stress you are going through with this.
You should try Denagard. It is a liquid antibiotic that you administer in the water. You should be able to find out any info you need as well as dosing instructions by doing a search here on BYC. You should treat all of your birds to be safe and keep everyone else from getting too sick.
I hope everything works out for you. Good luck!

So sorry for your loss. Hope the rest of your flock is on the mend soon.
