TURKEY POULTS DYING - Lethargic, yellow poop, staggering, head twisting

can see it now
i wonder if turkeys can get botulism
sorry not something i am familiar with and i am hoping that someone more knowledgeable comes along soon
 
Day 3 of meds......HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!! I can't believe it.
This morning Angel had eaten most her 20% crumble, was dipping her beat in the water bowl, walking fairly steady, talking, and I see some solid poop in the bottom of the crate!:yesss::yesss::yesss::yesss:

I am not sure about MIB and the sinus infection. the swelling does not look to be going down and she has had 2 doses of Amoxicilan. I don't know if I can do the drain method.


But, now I see what looks like Fowl Pox on 2 of my other poults. Any suggestions for treatment for Fowl Pox. I know its viral and may have to run its coarse, but any good advice will help.

fowl pox is viral and needs to just run its course
keep an eye on it to see if it turns to wet pox, they will get cankers and those will need to be removed
 
External pox sores can be softened with warm water (possibly ointments/creams?) if they get it bad enough that it forces both eyes closed at the same time.
 
So now 3 if my poults are together, Angel, Camo & Oreo. They seem pretty healthy, including Angel who has made a full recovery from whatever that was. I separated the 2 (Big Black & MIB) from the healthy 3 because they are struggling. MIB still has swollen sinus' and has a few pox around lower neck. BB (Big Black) has pox so bad they cover both eyes. I am concerned its not going away, guess it's been almost 2 weeks.
