donnielime Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Went out this morning to let out my chickens and give them some warm food and one of my little gold penciled Hamburgs was dead She was left behind her little sneezing twin any ideas on how to stop her sneezing?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 How sad, I'm so sorry . One of my girls was very snuffly and snotty (and sneezing a bit) recently. I gave them all Citricidal in their water but after a week or so she was no better. I took her to the vets in the end and he gave her Septrin Paed Suspension. I'm on day 8 of it and she certainly seems a lot better . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd be inclined to pop the other one to the vets - just in case.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Sorry to hear it . If the one you lost was sneezing I'd definately have a trip to the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnielime Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 One of them was sneezing but I don't know which one it was. So it might be the one that died or it might be the one that is currently in a box in my downstairs loo getting a bit of TLC (as I couldn't tell them apart!)! I have got some poultry spice and am going to worm them and see if anything happens over the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 If she was sneezing and that was what killed her then she'd have other respiratory signs so I would keep an eye out for discharge from nose, bubbles around eyes, swollen sinus - bulge in front of eye, put your ear on her back and listen for wheezing and crackles and stuff like that which would indicate it's more serious than a cold or allergy. It could have been something completely different. I had one die suddenly and I never knew what it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnielime Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for all the messages. I bought the other 'twin' in last night and kept her warm and she seems okay, so fingers crossed she is over it! She was my first departure to the hen house in the sky so i was worried I had done something to her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
