antibiotic

I have a Turkey (female) and I think she was attacked by a rat. She has a nice size wound on her side underneath her wing and it is infected. I need a antibiotic to give her to combat it. I have been cleaning it twice a day and applying antibiotic cream to it and it was healing quite nicely...

Hello again! So, I just thought I'd ask, to be proactive. Over the last year, I have been battling bumblefoot with my hens. I had to do many mini 'surgeries' to drain the bumblefoot, then I would use hen healer ointments/sprays and wrap their feet/foot. Around 4 months ago, two of my hens...

If a hen is being treated with pencillin, would a treatment of oral corid not be safe to administer at the same time?

I have heard many different opinions on whether to use or not use Baytril 2.5% or Baytril 10% to help cure a recurring and swollen bumblefoot. Question 1: Is Baytril SAFE for hens and, after a 2 week egg dumping/withdrawal period, can I eat the eggs from my treated hens? Question 2: If I...

My hens are sneezing. I have tried antibiotics and oil of oregano and acv and sprayed them down with vetrx. Nothing is helping. They are still active and eating and laying. But I can’t seem to get them to stop. What am I doing wrong?

So yesterday was our third run in with a local fox. He hasn't killed one of our girls yet, but came close twice. Yesterday was another close call. He bit "Princess" - an Ameracauna who is 3 years old twice. While she is not in critical condition, I think her injuries are more than mild. She...

My cream legbar is at the very bottom of the pecking order and the smallest hen of the bunch. 3 days ago we noticed one of her earlobes was swollen with this weird dark spot in the middle. We can’t tell if it’s getting worse, but it’s definitely not getting better. Is this something to worry...

Our sweet “Maggie” is about 1 year old. When she was 5month old, she started limping. We noticed there was a small bump between toes. We figured it was like a bumblefoot. We have treated bumblefoot on chicken and geese by ourselves before, but we were not able to hold her down to provide the...

Hi folks, Glad to be here and just wanted to share the miraculous recovery of our hen Cleo. I explain the story in the video but a few things I didn't mention that I want to clarify: 1. After her bumblefoot surgery, she seemed ok, but then she stopped laying and her whole body swelled up...

Hello fellow flock keepers! A while back, I posted a thread with concerns with a hen who was laying rubber eggs and had diarrhea with some worms. Treated for worms. Turned out to be salpingitis (she layed a lash egg 😞) . Thankfully, there is an avian vet in the area, as well as an avian lab...

Hi! So I have 3 pekin ducklings that are 5 weeks old. Two weeks ago, I took them to the vet for a respiratory infection, and they were put on TMS antibiotic orally 2x a day. Today is supposed to be their last day of antibiotic. they all were doing much better, until 3 days ago I noticed one was...

This may be a silly question, but do you give any of your fowl antibiotics, medication, anything of that sort? Hopeful for a reply! We just got some peachicks, about to have them in an aviary by our chicken pin, and just curious if we need to continue them on medicated chick feed starter or if...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a story about my hen Isabella and see if anyone has ever seen anything like this. She was a Rhode Island White and less than a year old, one day she was fine and the next one she didn't want to move or eat. She was the hungriest chicken in the flock and when I...

Injected antibiotics into young birds (chicks 4-5 weeks) with a larger needle than I usually use. I lost 2 almost instantly and one is now gasping and wheezing and running backwards.... the sound it is making is almost a gasping/squeaking wheeze? No crackling or rails and lungs sound clear.. no...

Hello, I started my adventure in chicken tending earlier this spring. Yesterday, I had a Fox figure out the lock to our coop and take out three of our four girls. The one left had a 1.5x1/2 inch wound on her back where her skin was missing. I could see the muscle underneath. We couldn’t...

My silkie rooster was attacked by a fox at dusk last night around 8pm. He was just going into the coop when he charged at a fox to protect his hens. The fox snagged him and took off with him in the woods. My partner screamed that a fox took off with the rooster and we let the dogs out and took...

It was a rainy day and when the rain had stopped at about 5pm, I felt so bad locking all my girls up and I let them out. Big mistake. Luckily my husband heard the chain link fence rattle. We think that it was a younger fox, on his own. He killed one of my full grown hens before my husband got...

I have 3 poults and I've seen bloody poop, so I started giving them corid. But 2 of them are sneezing a lot, have discharge coming from their nose so I'm thinking a respiratory infection. Can I also add antibiotics to their water with the corid? Thanks!

I have two out of 7 chickens (6 weeks old now) that have been sick with a respiratory infection for 3 weeks now. I originally had 10 but 3 have passed away, not sure why they had no obvious symptoms. on March 26 I got deneguard and put in chicks water at 8cc per gallon for 5 days, didn’t help...

My buff Orpington is 7 months old, she became sick a few days ago. One of her eyes was swollen and had bubbles in it. But we have started treating her with Neosporin and saline twice a day. But now it seems like she is unable to breathe very well. She raises her head and takes a long breathe...
