Salpingitis cured!

[cholmes108]

I thought I'd post what I did to clear up my hen's salpingitis. She was laying lash eggs and quite big ones for some time. I thought I was going to lose her but she seems to be making a full recovery and I thought I'd share in case it can help anyone else. Here's what I did: twice/day I made a concoction of .5 mL of oregano oil (to fight the infection if it was viral), 1/4 teaspoon Manuka honey, 1.5 mL nutridrench (when she was super sick and losing so much weight), as well as 1/2 tablet Baytril (an antibiotic.) I did this for 10 days straight twice/day except I stopped using the Manuka honey about 1/2 way through and switched to regular honey (less than 1/4 teaspoon.) I think the combo of all of these things seemed to work. I syringed it into her mouth. (She did not like it.) She hasn't laid any more lash eggs. I'm doubtful that she'll lay eggs again but I'm glad she didn't die. I hope this helps people looking for an effective treatment. (I added oregano oil and Manuka honey because the oregano oil has strong anti-viral properties and Manuka honey has strong anti bacterial properties. I read a trial that was done with Oregano oil to fight E. coli and based my dosage on the info in the trial.) My hen weighs about 4-5 pounds so .5mL twice/day was the dosage for her. I totally winged the Manuka honey dosage giving her 1/4 tsp twice/day for 5 days. Then I switched to regular honey in part because the Manuka honey I have was incredibly expensive. (I used it in the past to help treat a MRSA infection.)

Can I thank you so much for your post. My chook laid a lash egg and currently is lethargic, still eating and drinking the oregano tea n mash I made. Have got the oil of oregano but was considering whether she needed prescribed. Having read your post, I am going to continue treating her with eggy oregano tea n the oil n now manuka honey. So Ty so much

Yes, agreed. I ordered the manuka honey and the nutridrench online. I got the oregano oil from my local health food store though I’m sure you can also order it. I got the Baytril from my local vet - you’ll probably need to get the antibiotics from a vet.

If you just go to a pigeon supply store you can get all kinds of antibiotics without prescription idk why! Jeff’s bird supply is good.

Update us on this hen please? Surviving saplingitulis is a rare thing. Sometimes they get better before the end. Is she still doing fine?
