"Hi Chris,
Yes, the death was caused by a common repiratory pathogen called Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Dr. Scholten said that the treatment for it is vitamin E and tylosan antibiotics.

"I always dissolve 1 tablet (25 mg) in 2 tablespoons water. I usually add a teaspoon or so of corn syrup to give them a little something, make a slurry of the three ingredients.

"If using the food grade DE, I would find this difficult to believe. The stuff for pools is the nasty crystalline silica, but the food grade stuff is the amorphous form. Apparently this is the reason why the pool stuff will cause the lung damage, but…"
"Good morning. The prelims are in.
The cause of death was respiratory. Exact cause is still unknown at this point. I have path slides that I am reviwing, in will also get some avian path people to look at them as well m

"Stephanie,
Although I haven't read anything about lung problems caused by DE (diatomaceous earth) in chickens, I know that it can cause some problems in humans. I wonder if the DE could have caused some lung damage(particularly if they are dust…"

"Bethany,
I have never seen a scorpion around here in the ten years we've been in this house. But I was told by an E.R. doctor that a large, painful, swollen area I had on my leg was a scorpion sting. So we probably have at least a small population.…"

"Stephanie,
Do you by chance have bark scorpions at your place? The reason that I ask is that I have lots of experience with chicken vs. bark scorpion situations, as they seem to like our house and property as much as we do. It is often said that…"

"Thank you Rachel. I will be sure to let everyone know how this turns out. Is it possible for my hens to get sick from wild birds without direct contact? We have 1/2 inch hardware cloth enclosing the run and covering the windows of the hen house.…"
"I'm very sorry to hear this Stephanie. :( Please update us with what Dr. Scholten tells you. Chickens do not necessarily just get sick from other chickens. There are all kinds of disease carriers that can infect your birds, most notably the wild…"
"I just returned home from taking the hen to Dr. Scholten. He is an extremely nice and generous person. He has a very nice veterinary practice in Scottsdale. Hopefully we can find out what the problem was and I will do whatever it takes to help…"
"Thank you Dr. Scholten.
Your efforts could help the rest of her flock if you find a communicable pathogen, correct?
I will bring you my business in the future because you are a good and generous man.

What you are describing are signs consistent with a respiratory issue/ infection.
If you would like I would be willing to do a necropsy on her at no charge. While I am not a veterinary pathologist I am a veterinarian. Depending on what…"

The end of March one of my two EE hens died suddenly with no symptoms. Now the other one is showing signs of illness. I went out to check on them this morning and she was still in the hen house on the perch while the four other hens were out in…
"Ours haven't gone through a molt yet as far as I can tell. What has affected status around here is egg laying. Our hens' (2 EEs, 1 White Leghorn, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Welsummer, and 1 Cuckoo Marans - all around 7 months old) pecking order changed as…"
