Vetrx how effective is it ?

The label of the Oxymav B says Mycoplasma

For poultry respiratory diseases and the like, including MG...the only preventative is strict biosecurity. For worming...yup, chemicals are great preventatives, especially if your soil is warm, moist/wet most of the year!

Folks who use herbals should know how much to use, for how long, when to expect effectiveness, duration of effectiveness, adulteration, preservatives, where did it originate from (China?) contraindications, withdrawals, overdosing and how to counteract it. We all know chickens hide their illness to the last minute. You gotta hit them hard and fast if you want to try and nip it in the bud. That's where chemicals come into play. Then there is the cost factor especially from herbal stores. Same with herbal use in humans.

Good information to know...

I hope to never deal with any diseases or illnesses. 5 years and I lost one chick to a raven (about 2 weeks ago) and one Cockerel from a predator (4 years ago).

Reading info like this helps me keep a list of meds that'll work if it happens. I live on agricultural land (two huge farms are my neighbors), but there are zero vets for chickens/birds. Mostly they just deal with large livestock, dogs, and cats.

I have had him on Oxymav B which has Oxytetracycline hydrochloride as an active ingredient. so far its been 2 days on it and there is an improvement. The bubbles in his eyes have disappeared and the discharge which has been coming out of his nose has decreased. I don't want to cull him as he is the only rooster I have that is dark Brahma and hard to find where I live.

Just Wondering if Vetrx will aid in his recovery? it looks like he is doing better compared to 2 days ago.

I would use it for recovery, it won't hurt anything to use it.

you are right it won't hurt to use it.

From what I have heard from other people that use VetRX is that it's a miracle worker when treating chickens for respiratory disease.

I'll have to add some to my pet cabinet...

I've lost several birds to hawks, but snakes were my #1 enemy when I lived in Georgia. I've lost quite a few cockerals, pullets and chicks to them....particularly yellow rat snakes aka chicken snakes. They are very aggressive and will go after chickens day or night.
I've lost a couple birds to enteritis and recently one to impacted crop or gizzard...probably both grrr.
I'm sorry for your previous losses.

The chick one made me mad It was a true Ameraucana. But next day I got 2 Jersey Giant pullets. They're in a predator safe run that's covered until they're big enough to go into the bigger run. I have 75 lb test fishing line strung up all around the big hens 1500 SQ FT fenced in area, a friend does it so I thought I'd try it. She has eagles and hawks who live right on her pond, none have tried to take hers in 10 years. Maybe she's just lucky or a bird whisperer...

And that snake pic is INSANE!!!

A few years back I lost 10 of my Isa Brown hens to a weasel. In one night they were gone. Otherwise now nothing has tried to take any of my chickens for about 10 years but a rat which got 3 of my blue australorp chicks.
