Please Help - Turkey Nasal Discharge/Throwing up Mucus/Lethargic ??

[JourneymanSun]

OK so i have the corid. I was told to dose the problem turkey along with all the other turkeys that were around him. Shall I put them all on the medicated feed as well?

Here goes the super puzzler. The antibiotics will kill ducks. Wile out back taking care of things I noticed on of my ducks starting to sneeze. Coincidence ? Is it time to go duck antibiotic shopping?
From what I've read its not that the medicine/medicated feed will kill ducks,its the amount of medicated feed/medicated water they consume that kills them, They eat/drink way to muck and poison themselves .
Would a smaller dose of corid antibotic be safe for the ducks, from what I've read YES safe. There are a lot of conflicting opinions out there.

I found this searching the fourms.:

"Chickens are not the only birds affected by Coccidiosis. Turkeys, geese, and ducks, among others, are affected as well. Cocci are a naturally occurring protozoan parasite found in almost every soil sample. There are about nine different strains within the Eimeria genus that do harm to chickens. Some of these strains are questionable, but most are verifiable. I happen to know that my soil samples contain Eimeria of the Necatrix stain. There was poultry kept on my farm before I owned it, and that virtually guarantees the Cocci eggs (oocysts), are on site.
"
"For those waterfowl breeders out there, I have good news. Previously thought to be harmful to ducks, the latest veterinary science claims that neither Amprolium nor Bacitracin are toxic to ducks. As part of a study, I have had my waterfowl on medicated feed for over a year now, and everyone is thriving."

Are the other turkeys showing signs? For sick ducks, I would use Tylan. What kind of feed do the poults ea. Exactly how many animals do you have over there?

I have 21 turkeys 8 ducks 5 chickens and 2 geese. I moved 15 turkeys on Wednesday which were kept separate from the other 6. The 6 turkeys are four weeks old and have been in contact with 5 of my ducks. The other 15 turkeys were brooded within feet of the others and are now being kept in a different location. I keep two separate flocks of poultry/water foul.
I noticed the one turkey getting sick on Thursday.

The ducks and turkeys in question are four weeks old, have been let out during the daytime together and put back inside for the night under their heat lamps in two separate pens.

I currently have Duramycin-10 and Corid in my possession.I ordered :
Tylan Soluble Powder
Sulfadimethoxine
Neomycin Sulfate
T.F.-15 Aureomycin with Vitamin B12 - 5 pounds
to have on hand just in case things start to go down hill again.

I figured having the medicines on hand will be beneficial. I use non gmo organic non medicated feed .But have Agway Medicated Chic Starter/Grower I can put them on if the antibiotic regiment will not suffice.

I have baby chicks coming in next Thursday.

OK so the sick turkey decided to start eating and drinking again. The vitamins & ACV "Drench" got him over the hump. Followed by Yogurt and Cayenne pepper mix. I have all the animals on Corid water for the next five days. I surely thought this guy was a goner . Going form the exorcist vomit bird to eating on his own. I'm no vet so I'm not sure what it had going on the list of avian ailments scare me .I don't want to loose all my birds to one turkey getting a sinus infection.When that guy started changing colors I though it was a wrap !
Now to figure out why the little guy got sick in the first place. I'm thinking he ate a bad bug/worm when they were outside.

Thank you for you concern
