I came down with severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, fever and muscle craps on Tuesday. I have never had diarrhea like this in my life. I thought I had a stomach virus and by Thursday evening I was much better. I woke up this morning with the same thing all over again.
I have two turkey toms that are my pets and live free range on my property so obviously they poop wherever they are standing at the time. One of my boys has had diarrhea in the last few weeks. I found evidence of it in the yard. I also have 18 chickens. Very likely I could have and probably did pick up some of it on my shoes.
My question is could this be salmonella? Has anyone here ever gotten salmonella from their birds?
I am so dehydrated I will probably need to make a trip to the doctor soon it this does not go away. I have never thought about getting sick from my birds but this is not a normal stomach bug.
Any help would be appreciated.
