Pullet gasping for air! Please help!!

Agreed! I'd definitely treat them all. Chances are some of the others will start showing symptoms soon.

An ounce of prevention is with a pound of cure!

Its best that you treat your whole flock for coccidosis. You are going to use 1.5 tsp of corid powder, add it to 1 gallon of water, make a new batch every day for 5-7 days. Make the corid water the only water they have access to. Your also going to want to give the 1ML injection of Tylan twice a day to your sickly bird.

Yes! Also grab some Corid. You may be dealing with cocci.

She has passed away. She had convulsions and died very shortly after. I am heartbroken and wish I could have acted sooner. Thanks for your help, I will know what to do next time.

I'm so sorry about this.

Keep those meds on hand and be ready for other birds to show symptoms.

I'm so sorry! I saw your other post yesterday, but didn't think you were dealing with cocci. When my birds had coccidosis, I seen bloody stool and sleepy, lethargic birds, but their breathing was fine. And you might not have been. Just in case, I would go ahead and treat your flock with the Corid water for 5 days.

The cocci drench recipe that I use is 2 teaspoons water to 1 teaspoon of powder corid.

Mix well.

Give orally with syringe.

I do have one tiny pullet that is showing symptoms. Is this recipe okay to give to her, even though she's so little?

What are her symptoms?

 

[theuglychick]

Is she showing respiratory distress or cocci signs?

For cocci... with my smaller birds (5 weeks or younger) I give about half that dose.

I've had very good results with it and usually see improvement within the next couple days.

Droopy, lethargic, diahrea...

No respiratory symptoms like my other bird but it seems like it may be coccidosis.

 

[theuglychick]

That sounds spot on with cocci. I'd give her the drench.
