Lab 10,979 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sounds like it.............going to be an expensive fix... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shamo_uk 15 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Could be, If it is can be treated with antibiotics like Terramycin. Put Apple Cider Vinegar in the water with crushed garlic, this will also help them. Sometimes easier to replace said birds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blackdug 90 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Cheers for the replys...she culled the two birds straight away and I had tylan lying about so she has mixed that with acv and garlic ....I have had mycoplasma in my birds before and I found anything other than killing them was a waste of time sadly...

Lab 10,979 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its easily fixed.........but expensive. A weeks course on Enroxil should sort them out no problem if you catch it early enough. Then again i am talking about pheasants and not chickens but i'd imagine the same rules apply. Theres also stuff you can get in there feed called Aivlosin....again not cheap. This will cure your birds but if we are talking about small amounts of birds then possibly it will be alot cheaper and easier to get new birds... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
