theherd123 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Try adding some Citracidel to the water as it wards off colds and sniffles. Is her nose running at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieandnick Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 We've got two girls that are sneezing too (Doris and Maisie). Maisie's nose is a bit snotty. I've ordered some citricidal so will give that a go, but do you think I should take them to the vets for some Baytril? And will the whole lot have to be treated? I wonder if chickens get hayfever actually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) A couple of mine are sneezing at the moment (and so is one of the cats). I just add Citricidal to the water as Emma said and keep an eye on them. They get colds just like we do, but listen to their breathing to make sure that they don't have a chest infection - they will be wheezing and bubbling if they have... then it's vet time for a dose of antibiotics.

Pink Ladies Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 When one of ours was sneezing and citricidal hadn't worked I spoke to our vet who thought that she has mycoplasma infection. This was also because one had sadly died the previous week. He injected her and her mate with Tylan. After a couple of days they were charging around again and all sniffles had gone. He said that he had seen a few with the disease lately. Sure yours is just a cold but always better to be safe than sorry if it hangs about. Hope all goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
