House move and Myco
« on: November 08, 2009, 19:16 »
Hi, as some of you know i lost the 3 chooks i bought in with Myco symptoms [ with vet treatment]. None of the others have shown any signs , although i suppose they could be carriers. Our house move will be in a few weeks, i will make sure everything is ready the other end , but should i put them on antibiotics[in water] or just give a tonic , then see if any of the others have picked it up, thoughts please as i'm not sure whats best :unsure:
    Have a feeling i should be in the Hen House, sorry :wacko:
We have 17 chickens, 3 quail, 2 dogs, 3 cats and that's enough (for this week)

A move will be stressful for them and it's at times of stress they're more likely to come down with illness, so maybe the anti-biotics as a precaution?

Personally I wouldn't use A/B without an outbreak of illness to treat.  A/Bs should be treated with respect and not used indiscriminately.  Using an inappropriate A/B can make matters worse. and why destroy the chx digestive system microflora for no good reason.

Truth through science.
