"How old are the hens?"
"Billie Jean is surviving, but I'm not sure how well she's doing quite yet. I went to see Dr. McCready at Camelback West - she is great, by the way; doesn't see a lot of chickens but has really gone the extra mile to help me figure out what's going…"

"We had a similar problem with eye/nose swelling and discharge plus wheezing/sneezing. Dosed with antibiotic using a kid's medicine syringe. Also dosed with vetracin liquid (spelling?) both internally and directly in the eyes. Took a few days to…"
"Good luck Holly. I don't know how you were planning on giving the bird the Benadryl. When I had to give Amoxicillin to one of my chickens, I broke open the capsule, and mushed the dose in a little bit of sardines. "

Hi VPAers!I am wondering if any of you have suggestions for Billie Jean, my silver laced wyandotte. I came back from holiday vacation and her face and head are super swollen, so much so that she's nearly blind at this point. I put her on…
