    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    I don't know. Since it's just treating symptoms, and not curing. I suppose over time it might become less effective, I just don't know.

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    I would follow the instructions and dose according to those. For chickens it's usually 3 - 5 days treatment, I wouldn't go longer than that. Instead I would retreat when symptoms return. If it's MG then it is chronic and will recur, particularly during times of stress. The medications help...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    If you gave the entire dose on bread, the entire dose was consumed, then it should be fine. It would only be less effective if you under dosed. 5 days should treat everything except tapeworm, so no reason to retreat. Retreatment would be needed if symptoms of worms happened, or because of a...

    That is the generic of Denagard. Yes, it's used to reduce the severity of mycoplasmas. It does have some drug interactions, so care should be taken not to give at the same time as those, more info here: https://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/?id=-473097

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    I personally prefer to use medications that are not multi-use. That way you aren't medicating for something you don't need to. Ronidazole has some issues, link below. It's banned for use in food animals in the USA, and is a possible carcinogen. Label says "tylosine" which is either a typo, or...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    I would think that you would see at least some improvement after 5 days. If nothing has changed then I would start the Tylan then.

    Withdrawl for Safeguard is 14 days following dose, if you choose to follow the withdrawl. Many people continue to use the eggs. Do what you are comfortable with . The medication is also used in humans sometimes, the concern is usually allergic reaction, if you were allergic to it. I...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    That is the correct wormer. Once a day, for 5 days in a row. Easiest way is to take her off the roost before dawn, they are calmer then. You don't want to underdose, that can lead to parasites that are resistant to the medication. The medication is very safe, you would have to give a huge...

    I get some of my supplies here, but they are currently sold out: https://jedds.com/products/tylosin-powder A lot of meds are being switched to prescription only, but search for other pigeon or bird supply places, it may be in stock there. I found it available here, I have never ordered from...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    Are all her droppings that consistency? While not super runny, they are looser than I would say is normal unless she's drinking a lot of water, and it appears there is some undigested stuff in there as well as some mucous. If you have never wormed her, then I still would recommend doing that...

    Help please! My hen has a respiratory disease.

    I don't see a poop picture..? If she laid normally after the odd eggs, then it's less likely that was lash material, and more likely that it was a malformed egg. That could have been an early indication that things might be going awry in the reproductive tract, or it could have just been a...
