Thank you for responding and the vote of confidence!

Our Polish hen has a case of bumblefoot. The scab is pretty small, but the swelling is causing a little bit of a limp. For about 4 days we’ve been soaking in epsom salt, applying a drawing salve and Neosporin, and wrapping it. Tonight, we tried to soften the scab and squeeze/pull it off, but...

Thanks for the suggestions. Our sweet baby passed away this evening.

Thanks to whoever put this in the right spot! I panicked when I saw I posted in the wrong spot! 😑

Our vet put our silkie on Meloxicam and recommended we continue the Tylosin we had been giving her for a few days before we brought her in. on Wednesday for an inflamed eye. As we suspected, her culture for mycoplasma came back positive, so we start her on injectables tomorrow. Has anyone ever...

Thank you, that is really very helpful to know! My daughter also makes her a mash with the Poultry booster and applies a bit of very diluted VetRx every other evening-ish. That’s the only thing we lose track of.

No lesions. We’ve had her beak held open while we checked her eye.

Thank you! I knew I could count on getting info here quickly! ❤️

Good question! Yes, it’s pretty funky, and this started after what we believe was mycoplasma she had about a week or two ago (sneezing, bubbly eye discharge, slight lethargy). I’ll try and get a pic later today when I’m home.

How did your chicken fare? I’m dealing with the same thing- no pus that I can see, but I’m fairly certain it’s there.

Our silkie has developed what we are fairly certain is Coryza as a result of a mycoplasma infection. We have been treating her with saline rinses, terramycin ointment, and tylosin in her water. We have seen different advice on whether medicated food would be helpful or overload. Can anyone...

Thank you so much for your quick reply and hugs. I’ll give it a shot. She’s stayed to herself since the baby was born, so we’ll see. 👏🏻

Our mama silkie is very attached to her 3 month old baby. They do not go anywhere without each other. Today, while they were out free-ranging, a wild bird swooped in and struck the chick, killing it instantly. We brought them both inside, and Smoky immediately sat down next to Pudding, making...
