    Giving enrofloxacin (Baytril) a second time?

    I treated my geese a while ago for a respiratory infection with enrofloxacin, symptoms got a lot better but never fully cleared after the 5 days.

    Managing flock, mycoplasma and bringing in new roosters

    Our flock has what our vet says seems like mycoplasma but it hasn’t been confirmed by testing post mortem.

    Chicken respiratory systems- did I screw up??

Before doing so, I checked if citronella is safe for birds and found out it isn't, so I didn't use it...

    Air bubbles trapped in chest? See video and attached X-rays

    He has been having issues breathing at night, he’s fine during the day. It has seemed as though he has been having what I can only describe as sleep apnea. What could be going on?
