This is the first time I've ever had a poult actually develop anything like this while I've had them. She has started sneezing a lot lately, and when I looked at her nose to check, it's clogged with mucus. I used a warm qtip to wipe some of it out of the way and then tried to clear it gently with a small object, but it only helped for a few minutes before it came back. I got some VetRX and as per instructions dripped some of the solution in her nostrils, then rubbed some of it straight warm from the bottle under her wings. I didn't put any down her throat because the directions are for silkies or birds of that size. She is about a 2 and a half month old poult. I put ACV in her water along with a few drops of the VetRX on the top so she can coat her beak when she drinks.
She's not too severe yet, she has been sleeping more lately but when i take her out of her brooder she still flies around, runs, dust bathes in her flakes or grass or whatever she's on. I want to try and get this handled before it gets too bad.
Is there anything else I can do for her? I keep seeing things like Tylan 50 but I can't find out anywhere near me to get any, or how I would dose for a turkey poult. She's not very big at this age. I'd really like to help perk her up if I can. She's being kept on pine shavings (flake, not fine) like all the other turkeys I've ever raised. Thanks.
Edit: Oh, her poop has been runny lately too. It's orange-y in color too and stinks pretty bad. I haven't noticed any smell from around her face where the mucus is, though.
