Pullet in rough shape

[Crookadoodle]

Okay so still no news on the bacteria culture but the vet prescribed a 1 day tx of piperazine 52 for dewormer and then PenG in the water for 5 days for the bacterial infection
He wrote on the package 10 day egg withdrawal at least after last dose. I had previously looked it up online and thought penG didnt have egg withdrawal? I attached pictures of the packages of both meds.

Egg withdrawal is a relative notion, seeing how different they are for the same substance in different countries! Where I live piperazine and antibiotics are not approved for laying hens at all.
I think the vet gave you a safety range, as most antibiotics will not be found in the eggs between 10 to 14 days after treatment.
Piperazine treats only round worms , but since that's what he found in the analysis it seems logical. When I had to deworm I used flubendazole that treats all (though also not approved for layers in my country). But by all means, give your flock the treatment prescribed by your vet before anything else!

Did the four survive, and how are the others ? I really do hope the treatment will help.

Go by your vet's recommendations.
PenG is not approved for use in laying hens in the US but it may be different in Canada.
Same with Piperazine.

Will do. He did say I could still give them to my dog so at least the eggs wont be totally wasted!

I have actually found it hard to get treatments without vet involvement there isn't as many shelf products at the feed stores for chickens. I hope this works too I feel like a poultry pharmacy, meds for round worm, antibiotics, live and mites previously, meds for coccidiosis before we did a necropsy and were guessing...man these poor chickens have been hit with a lot.

My 4 sick ones are hanging in there but not doing great, barely moving, huddled up, will eat some and drink but not improving and have been this way for a few weeks now. My vet says they are 'damaged goods' and will never recover but now that I have some meds doesnt hurt to try. Just trying to balance whats humane and what is selfish to keep pushing it.

Your own judgement is usually the right one to make given that you researched the issues and treatment for them.

Where are you located? Have you thought or tested for the bird flu spreading across the country?

Sorry for the loss.

Latest lab testing results Back in POST#26

Thread has been ongoing since Feb. 8 so there's been a lot that you may have missed

White watery poop with green bits in as described in #15 or thereabouts and wasting away /starvation sounds like it could be clostridium perfringens and necrotic enteritis. Are they testing for that at the lab?

So this is the results of the cultures. The vet said no changes in plan so he wants me to deworm first, give a couple days break and then do 5 days of PenG.

I looked on the government page and it also says the PenG should not be used in laying hens, only approved for broilers in Canada. So I guess the vet feels this is the only option, and hoping the residue will not be present after 10 days.
