Clostridium perfringens Treatable with doxycycline?

[Jessie Marie]

I have a chicken who had sour crop. I treated that part and she is eating again but she has diarrhea, and her poop looks the same as the posts that show clostridium perfringens. I don't have an avian vet that can see her- they are all booked for weeks! I have tried to find antibiotics online to no avail. The only thing I can find is this : http://www.greatcompanions.com/product/bird-biotic?sku=22140-475

Doxycycline. Will this work to treat her?

Also are there any over the counter or natural /home remedies? Oregano oil? Garlic?

Can you post a few pictures of her poop?

Welcome to BYC! I think clostridia is resistant to Tetracylines, so you might want to try somethint like Tylan instead.

Is there anywhere I can buy that online?? Like I said, I can't go to the vet because there isnt one here that can see her.

Tractor Supply sells the injectable, which you can give orally. How much does she weigh?

 

[Jessie Marie]

4.8 lbs.

4.8 lbs.

You could give 1.1 ml Tylan 50 orally twice day.

Thank you! i will order some. How do you get it out from the bottle? Would I need a syringe with a needle? How do you make sure it doesn't get aspirated when giving a liquid orally?
