Respitory infection in duck.

[Doc McCluckins]

I have a call pullet who has had some congestion in her breathing that I have noticed. She acts healthy otherwise and is eating and drinking but she seems to just have a snotty nose. Her eyes are clear and she is not lethargic. I have her isolated from my others but I was wondering if there was anything I could give her to clear up her breathing. I have tylosin and baytril injectable as well as an antimicrobial powder. It's possible I might have some aeromycin powder but I'm not certain. What's best? She is a bantam duck. I can try to get a video but it's probably too faint to hear.

You could try tylosin or Baytril.

Respiratory Colibacillosis in Chicken


A clinical study (study outline) compared the efficacy of continuous and pulsed water medication with Baytril® 10% oral solution (enrofloxacin) or with two reference fluoroquinolones in chickens suffering from respiratory colibacillosis and septicemia.
Based on the efficacy criteria examined (mortality rate, degree of air sacculitis, clinical efficacy index) the results of this study showed that continuous and pulsed dosing were clinically equivalent. This finding emphasizes the flexibility of drinking water dosing with Baytril® 10% oral solution in commercial poultry operations. Baytril® was more efficacious than both reference fluoroquinolones for the therapy of colisepticemia.

Mycoplasmosis in Chicken


In a clinical setting (study outline) young chicks were infected with M. gallisepticum and medicated in the drinking water afterwards with Baytril® 10% oral solution or with a reference compound.
The efficacy of the therapeutic medication was assessed according to different criteria, i.e. the air sacculitis lesion score, the cultural reisolation of M. gallisepticum, and the serum agglutinin production. It was shown that the Baytril® therapy conferred good efficacy to respiratory disease caused by M. gallisepticum in poultry.

Chronic Respiratory Disease in Poultry/Chicken


In many instances, M. gallisepticum infection in poultry is aggravated by respiratory colibacillosis and the complex is designated "Chronic respiratory disease" ("CRD"). Baytril® is efficacious against both mycoplasma and E. coli infections. In addition to field experience lasting over many past years, a controlled clinical study (study outline) gives convincing evidence that a drinking water medication with Baytril® 10% oral solution, either continuous or pulse dosed, cures chickens suffering from "CRD" very well (incidence of morbidity, incidence of lesions, clinical efficacy index).

Fowl Cholera in Turkeys


Particularly in growing turkeys, acute pasteurellosis (Fowl Cholera) is a life-threatening disease. In the case of field outbreaks, prompt antimicrobial therapy of affected flocks is required.
Dose titration studies showed that Baytril® doses of 5 to 20 mg/kg BW during three to seven days were efficacious against severe infections. A multicenter field evaluation indicated that drinking water medication with Baytril® in severely affected flocks cured fowl cholera very well."

Its not treatable treating only hides the symptoms until stress bring it back out again

Not everything is mycoplasma, so no harm in treating.

This is one that I treated with Baytril and it was better in 2-3 days, then the chick never got sick again.

Hope you don sell birds or eggs i wouldnt wanna buy them knowing one looked like that! They are carriers for life just because they dont show symptoms doesnt mean they arent carriers

 

[Doc McCluckins]

She was tested for MG, AI, and PT recently, I don't believe it's MG. I've seen it before. I'll try Tylosin. What would be the dosage for a Call duck?

Not all respiratory infections are mycoplasma. If that bird had mycoplasma surely the others it was with would have gotten sick, and surely I would see other birds in my flock with illness, yes?

How much does your duck weigh? Tylan 50 dose is 0.2 ml per pound 3-4 times a day.
