Hi everyone. For almost 2 months now, my rooster has been suffering from wry neck and weak legs. He also has a breathing issue.. if he stumbles even a little bit, he starts breathing heavily. His nose sounds completely stuffed. He head is almost down to the floor the entire time he is standing...

Hi! I gave Brownie the 2nd dose of dewormer as well! He has shown a slight increase in appetite and that has made me so happy I cannot tell you! He is eating much better though im still handfeeding him as he cannot hold his weight. There's also another issue that he is breathing heavily.. like...

I gave Brownie the medicine! But he only had 1 ml of the dewormer before he simply refused to have any more. I gave 0.2 ml doses and by the 5th dose he was getting so stressed out, I had to stop. It's very warm here as well so he was panting and I got worried. Don't want to push him since he's...

Oh I see! I really really hope it works and even if not, well he is due for deworming anyway! I have no idea what his issue is.. he has wry neck & his head droops to the floor. His legs are so weak that he only stumbles backwards and can barely walk to his bed. I did apply coconut oil to his...

I have a question.. how much food should be in his crop for him to safely have the 2.8 ml dose? Right now he is able to fill his crop until it has a small ball shape. Earlier he could eat twice that much easily, but right now his appetite has reduced and he also takes longer to eat. I dont mind...

Yes, of course! I have been terrified of him aspirating since one of his antibiotics went in wrong so I've been offering him vitamins and all mixed in water only. Generally, I give him doses in 0.2 ml through dropper and will do the same. These days it anyway takes me more than an hour to feed...

Just did the calculation according to his weight. Please let me know if it is alright or if it's too much to give in one go. 3.5 kg x 20 mg / 25 mg = 2.8 ml Also, the links that you shared mention that it should be repeated after 10 days. In case of gapeworms they say to give for 3 consecutive...

Hi! He weighs 3.5 kgs and the albendazole pack reads 5 mg per kg so I'm very confused.. is that too less? I cleaned his legs with soap and water again today and applied Vaseline. I'll apply oil as well tomorrow after clean up. Is coconut oil okay or is mustard oil better?

This is from the old pack. I've to get the same one today.. Please let me know if it's okay.

Thank you so much for all the links! I'm attaching pics of his legs. Please see and let me know if it's mites or something else..

Thank you so much! Im actually nervous about getting any new medicines in him. I'll be getting the Albendazole tomorrow though I really doubt he would have eaten any bug.. he's not really been interested in any bugs since he was a baby. But I will deworm him still. The dose given at the back of...

He's a house chicken though he does hang out with the pigeons who visit our house to have food. I've stopped that for now as I was told that it maybe a biosecurity risk for him. I've never used fenbandazole before and have been treating him since childhood with albendazole only.. is it okay to...

@Eggcessive Hello! Tagging you here since I saw you on the thread regarding gapeworm and it made me wonder if that could be the issue with my rooster too.

Hey everyone! My chicken (rooster, 5 & a half yrs old) has been pretty sick the past one month and i've basically been hand feeding him 3 times a day. I've tried treating him for breathing issue with antibiotics, but it hasnt worked. His neck is twisted (wry neck), his head droops, he stumbles...

Oh i see.. is there anyway to check? Like an xray or something?

I'll do that. I've started giving him fresh coconut water since two days as well to help with the weakness. Im also daily giving him sunflower seeds and almonds for an extra vitamin e boost The antibiotic course has already ended. What im worried about is that his breathing issue hasnt resolved...

Hey everyone! My rooster developed a wry neck and had some respiratory issues before. I decided to treat with a 5 day course of tetracycline and also multivitamin drops + half capsule of vitamin e daily. His antibiotics course ended yesterday but there's no improvement. He keeps sleeping and his...

Also, I had another question. I've noticed that his head is tilted to one side. Seems like wry neck to me and I think this respiratory infection is the issue only. But in case it's a deficiency, I've started him on a 3 day course of his regular multivitamin drops + half capsule of vitamin E...

Oh I see! I gave him the first dose last night, but sure I can give it all the time. Also how many times should I change the water in a day? I read on poultrydvm that tetracycline's potency reduces in around 3 hours..

Hello! I need to start a course of tetracycline for my chicken (5 and a half years old rooster) as he has breathing issue which is not going away. I have tetracycline hydrochloride water soluble vet. It says to give 5 mg per 4.5 litres of water at the back of the package to treat poultry...
