She's 5 years old, a long time ago I think she may have been infected by eating moldy food. Do you think oxine and putting it in an aerosol sprayer would be the best way to treat her for aspergillosis?Possibly I thought of that before the airsaccullits. I’d say a avain vet would be the only way of finding out. Is she sick other ways like off her feed? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3150149/
I think I will do the same. I have the same problem with seeing a vet too. It would stress her out terribly to be separated from her flock and go on a long car ride to a strange vet's office. It also seems like it will cost too much to get the same information I can get from a site like this. I would only take her to a vet if it was absolutely necessary. I think the oxine cures both air sacs and aspergillosis, but I'm not sure.I have heard great things about the oxine spray as well. I was planning on trying to use a spray bottle first and then order the fogger if that doesn't help. If I find the fogger to be economical, I'll order it, but I hate to order if something simple like a spray bottle mist will work just as well. Thank you so much for all of that awesome information!!! I'm going to place the order tonight and I will certainly let you know how it goes once I receive it and treat her. Does the oxine treat for both of the possible ailments that have been discussed on this thread? It seems like it does. I hope it doesn't come down to her needing a vet. I feel like being separated from her flock and the long car ride will be stressful. Not to mention the price of seeing an avian vet. Just the basic visit, no testing of any kind or medication included, will be at the very least $90. Everything will add up very quickly after that.
The vaporizer I have uses water. But I think what Miss Lydia does with the spray bottle put on mist will be the fastest and easiest way. Closing her in a room with a humidifier is ok too, but hopefully the spray bottle mist will work out well first.I guess it would depend on how much of the oxine is carried out in the Vapor. Does your vaporizer require a carrier oil to be added or water? I imagine oxine is more thin than any EO's so just the regular mixing instructions would work well. The more I think about it, I believe it would work well. I'm curious about this now
Thank you very much. I'm sorry, what's a "gal jug" that you mix 6.5 oz oxine with? How long do you mist it over their head?Check out countryside pets supply .com for the oxine ah. I mix it in a gal jug 6.5 oz and then put it into a reg spray bottle that you can adjust the spray, put on mist and mist above their heads so it gently falls onto their face. I believe you can also use a humidifier with it. I use the oxine for spraying bedding a couple times a week and since I have chickens I spray roosts also with it.
