Still struggling....thinking Wet Pox instead of Mycoplasma?!

Terramycin ointment is available without a prescription (for some reason, since most antibiotics are not,) and it is oxytetracycline, a drug that treats mycoplasma. It is also given in oral or injectable form to treat mycoplasma.

Got it.
There were so many options when I searched it. Do you buy it from anywhere in particular?

Most Tractor Supplies and other farm stores sell it, though you may need to ask for it because they sometimes keep it locked up. You may buy it online as well.

Thank you for all of your input and help.

Have you noticed your hen’s feet, especially her right one in the picture, are a bit swollen? Have you had mycoplasma synovitis (MS) in your flock as well? Since Denagard is usually only given for for 3-5 days I believe, your hens may not be drinking enough of it. Someone has suggested putting some Karo Syrup in the Denagard water to make it more palatable, since it tastes bad. MS apparently is very difficult to treat, but MG is usually treated with Denagard and Tylan, oxytet, and some others.

I hadn’t noticed that thank you for point it out.
I got Bannix for Chix to spray on the sores and on the feet.
Ran the humidifier w the oxine and doing the same tonight.
Not sure if I am really seeing “improvement”
I left a message for New Bolton but no call back ( I am a teacher so my days are crazy)

I looked in my girls throat ( the one w the scabs on and I didn’t see anything obvious but I may be missing something.
Here are a few pics from tonight.

Does that appear to be pox scabs on the feet? Her mouth and beak look pretty clear.

Also I just heard my rooster crow this morning and it doesn’t sound overly strong
Kinda like he has a sore throat or something. I can’t figure out how to upload the video.
