Hi everyone, really hoping someone can help me with this one:
We were given some chickens in July and they unfortunately had coccidia and really bad mites/lice/worms... We treated all of that but then they started getting sick with respiratory problems. They were all treated with Tylan and responded very well, however, the smallest of them didn't manage to shift it, and two months on she still has it. One side of her face is very swollen and full of yellow mucus... Last week the vet lanced it and removed lots but this week it has swollen up again. I am still giving her Tylan and lots of vitamins, starchy food to build her up, and her usual chicken feed, but she doesn't seem to be getting any better. If anything I would say that this week she is slightly worse... I'm wondering if she has just had enough... Can any one offer any advice? She is such a tame chicken I couldn't bear to lose her.
