That would assume that any here would be dumb enough to try it.

Will do. I like liquid better too.

Normally I do too but when I am treating something nasty like a respiratory issue in my seramas, i want to make sure those little suckers are getting the full dose. Sometimes when birds are sick, they dont like to eat or drink and mine are little and easy to handle and pill so its not bad. If I wanted to treat the entire flock, i would probably put the worst ones in isolation and pill them and treat the rest with the water soluble ones. This is another antibiotic I keep on hand thats great for cocci & URI & is put in the water. Sulfadimethoxine 12.5% Oral Solution
Easy to dose, stronger than corid and shorter egg withdrawl period than baytril-good for respiratory issues.. All thing to consider.....

Cheapest I found for Oxine, including shipping charges, was on Amazon... Baytril, I get the Enrofloxacin 10%... best price I found for that was on the mexi-cali site... but it takes longer to get...
Have you gotten it through the mexi-cali site before, Kathy?

Btw, I'm not convinced it's an actual respiratory issue you are dealing with, PF... if there's no runny noses, discharge, then that might not be actual sneezes... what I thought sounded like sneezes in mine were actually coughs... any excessive gaping, neck stretching, crop adjusting going on??

Gonna have to try that site-but I think I'm stocked for now... Fingers crossed that I wont need any!!!

I just got done taking care of a horrible prolapsed vent in one of my poor hens

Just because she's laying, doesn't mean they need to be incubated!

I am not sure what it is either. Not sure if you read all my previous info on what I have already done. No gaping, neck stretching or crop adjusting. I though about gape worm but no gapeing. Just the funny squeak from some. I now have 3 who are not being social, kinda puffed up and certainly flemmy sounding. One of them has been doing the squeaking but the other two have not.

I am just willing to try anything and it is obvious it is either contagious or something environmental that is affecting them. I don't think i will go with another round of anti-biotics right now as I just completed one and didn't see any improvement, actually now have more that are acting off than before.

I have been giving them elctrolytes and vitamen with their water also.

Just bleached the waterers and added fresh water with ACV only. I will do the feeder and spray the coop down with some bleach water tomorrow. That's about all I know to do right now.

Prolapse is no fun. Been there, done that too.
