ted Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 A few of ours were sneezing so did the citricidal, garlic powder thing. they were still sneezing and I noticed one had foam in her eyes. Went to vet and he gave us a course of baytril for them. We syringed them all each night for 10 nights. A few sneezes were still about and have continued with citricidal and garlic. Just noticed that the foam is back in Billys eye. Any ideas?? I am not anticipating good news... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 it has stopped foaming and she has stopped sneezing (she was sneezing every couple of seconds) and one thing has occured to me. A neighbours alarm went off and that was why I went out. Billy(foamy sneezer) and George were stretched to full height and making a very distressed noise. They were clearly upset by the noise. It stopped and that was when i noticed the sneezing and foam. Could it be stress related??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 see how Billy goes - if the eye continues take him/her back to vet and ask for a course of Tylan. I don't know the medical ins and outs but many chicken keepers prefer Tylan for foamy eye which is often a symptom of myco. I've also read that if baytril is used to treat myco it can take a lot longer to take effect than you/the vet thinks. I'm not sure if myco is more likely under stress conditions but respiratory infections in general often are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would take her back to the vet. We have just come back from our vet as our little Willow has had a problem with a "bulging" eye. The vet told us chicken's sinuses are behind their eyes and this had caused an infection behind the eye which caused the eye to bulge. He has given us a course of injectable Tylan we we have to give intramuscular every other day. The foaming in your hen could also be connected to sinus trouble maybe?
