Turkey sick pneumonia Use of humidifier

[fergyc2l2t316]

My turkey has been sick with mycoplasmid pneumonia and he took another turn for the worse last night. I honestly thought he was not going to make it. But he pulled through again and is eating and drinking. But he is wheezing again. Does anyone know if a humidifier would be ok to use with him? I know when I had pneumonia I had to have one. The vet is closed right now. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate a shout out.
Thanks
Timie

I would worry about too much humidity causing frostbite in cold temps. Do you have the turkey inside to keep it warm? Have you treated it with antibiotics, such as Tylan or oxytetracycline? With respiratory diseases such as MG, a secondary air sac infection can occur making the disease worse. Sorry about your turkey, but respiratory diseases can be chronic and serious.

I have him in my bedroom and it's 70 degrees. He's doing much better today. I am using Tylan 50 injections per the vet and oxytetracycline. The vet gave me a stronger antibiotic, but he didn't respond. He is only responding to the tetracycline and Tylan. Thanks for responding, though. I am hoping that he gets stronger by Wednesday. He has to have part of his wing amputated. He has had a very rough go these past four weeks.
