Well I haven't seen one my males for about a month now...guess he's gone and another one might die soon sadly...

I'm so sorry! I hope the other one doesn't die! What is wrong with him? Cajun? Are you in Louisiana.

He's had an eye problem I've tried everything to get rid of it even brought him to the vet the medicene and shots haven't worked and yes I am!

Not sure if this is a sinus infection but it sure looks like it. Here is an article to look at. (from @connerhills website)

Very few antibiotics are given once like Zactran. Most of the antibiotics like Tylan, Baytril, etc are given for three to seven days.

Most of the respiratory infections are a secondary infection caused by the weakening of the immune systems by some other problem. It would be helpful to you to have the vet do a fecal examination for cocci, and worm eggs, and for you to learn to administer the antibiotic injections yourself.

That's the thing they weren't given just once this problem had persisted for a couple months and I have given him shots myself many times
