Watery Eyes in turkeys?

I think I would go to the antiboitic at this point, this may have been building for awhile.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think the same thing.

I guess we'll see what happens.

I know you said you didn't want to in your first post, that's why I didn't sugest it then. We have our fingers crossed they make a fast recovery.

Well...

I heard an awful lot of chirping...

Walked out, and my 75 lb German Shepard is standing in the brooder. There were turkeys everywhere. And chickens. Not harmed, just trying to figure out what the heck happened, and get back in. Somehow he nudged the pen open, and I'm sure he was going after the yogurt I put in for the chicks. He's a dairy-loving dog.

But he didn't so much as lift a paw against them, and neither did the other dogs, who were watching with much amusement. (Not all were outside)

So far, I think everyone's accounted for. And Nikolai the shepard did a fine job of "leave it." Well, except where the yogurt was concerned.

It's a little too free-rangy for me just yet. And they're just babies!

Whew! One bullet dodged... which would have made the whole do-I-give-antibiotics-or-not debate moot. That would be one of the reasons I was keeping the garage door shut. Ha!

The only thing we use is Tylan powder.

Said it hundreds of time, get them on wire this keeps them out of the waste. dont mix with chickens.

Now they have the infection, more important to get them on wire pens(brooders) give them 1cc of tylan 50 per gal of water.

Keep them on wire for the first month or better 2 months.

What antibiotic? I had a poult that had this (he was indoors and quarantined) I just put him down because he wasn't responding to anymedication I tried and he got a big blister on his back under his wing. Would Bird Pen have worked if so how much? A whole tablet?

I have a turkey hen who has one side of her face puffy. She free ranges. Pollen count has been high and its very dry and dusty out (no rain) - they are with the chickens but not with the chickens, they sleep outside up high and keep to themselves and don't share nest boxes.

How much Tylan? How long/many days do you give them the medicine?
