I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on treating for the infectious coryza disease. I had problems with it about two years ago but forgot what my vet had given me to treat it when it started spreading around my quail. Unfortunately my golden pheasant Nigel has gotten it and I'm taking him to the same avian vet who helped me last time this was an issue. Do any of you know any extra ways to make sure this doesn't happen in the future? I have my golden pheasants in a massive aviary so keeping stuff super clean, and I've had a lot of rain recently, but I'll be doing my annual clean in my aviary. I caught him and put him in his own pen with clean food and water that's treated with BRONCARE for improving respiratory systems. Does anyone know if I can get him vaccinated if he gets fully recovered? Will it even do anything? I didn't know you could vaccinate for coryza, but I'll 100% be vaccinating every golden chick I hatch from my hens. Any help or suggestions are incredibly appreciated!!!

I've found a lot of mixed info on how long it can stay in the environment. Some say 3 days max, some say 6 months... Anyone know for sure?
 
Your vet probably use antibiotics.
I can give you a list of antibiotics to see if you can recognize any of them.
Also, just to let you know that once a bird has it, it will always carry it even if it doesn’t have symptoms so if you ever get new birds they could also get infectious coryza.

That would be awesome, thanks! If I vaccinate new birds and then give them boosters while quarantining them would they still be at risk?
 
I'd really hate to have to cull off all my birds, but if I did how could I get it out of the surrounding environment?
