This link explains CRD better. It DOES say that CRD usually follows other infectious diseases involving breathing. Everywhere I look on the Internet says the same thing. It's caused by numberous infectious bacterium in multiples of different strains working together and usually follows other problems involving disease infections. It also says slow infections. I know not all 70 of my birds infected each other in a matter of days, when this infection takes about 2 weeks to infect a flock of my size. The symptoms I listed also coincide with every other disease on the list of breathing problems. They all have the same symptoms. I live in Texas. I don't know anyone else with this same disease and none of my birds came from flocks that have this problem. I also highly doubt my birds picked it up from a field mouse......
Yall say that my birds will not show symptoms until they are stressed. My birds did not get stressed by the cold. They didn't get sick until the weather changed here, and I used the word "cold" as a descriptive measure. I live in Texas......we don't get that cold here. My birds have heaters in the coop. NOT a dinky 250watt heat lamp....I have 1500 watt infrared heaters spread out every 12 feet. I doubt they got stressed from the weather change. Nothing really changed for them. The heaters automatically turn on with a thermostat. They never run out of water. They are automatically watered via a water heater. They don't run out of feed either. They are also automatically fead as much as they want with an automatic dispenser. I spoil the crap out of those birds, so they keep producing hatchable eggs for me. Their water pipe even has a heat wire taped to it to come on at a certain temperature to keep the water warmer.
I also doubt some simple tetracycline powder just somehow automatically cured them of their coughing and sneezing. Most of the birds getting sick came from NPIP certified flocks that had already vaccinated for this very problem. Yall, automatically doomed my whole flock for a disease based on common symptoms that are on every disease list. I need to fully understand how CRD was the conclusion that was formed for me to understand? What is it that I said, when looking for advice that gave CRD as the conclusion?
Other sites say VetRX is a treatment for CRD symptoms, and I used it on this very bird I am seeking advice on, as well as Tylan 50. Neither helped..............This bird is swelling by the minute and none of my other birds went through this much sickness. Nothing is helping this bird.
