Avian Pox

Yeah, pretty scary.

So this is where we're at right now. Swollen, scabby and lethargic.

I'm giving the Girlz water soluble antibiotics, to help fight any infections from the sores, and also applying Iodine to help dry the sores up....now we're just hoping for the best.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. I hope it doesn't effect her vision. Animals, kids - they all get sick and mom has to take care of them. Good luck.

Holey smokes! Poor, poor girls! Oh I got all squiggy seeing them like that. I'm sending good chickeny vibes your way Dani... Please keep us updated. Where do you get chicken abx?

Dani said...

Kate, I'm using Tylan right now from the vet, but I'm pretty sure it can be bought online or at your local feed store.

FC, that's right. No pox for us. :)

Kelly, thanks for the well wishes girlfriend!

Darla, it's horrid isn't it?

Buzz, I'm worried about her vision too. *fingers crossed*

I still refuse to think bad thoughts. They will pull through and they are just perfecting their zombie costumes for Halloween.

Idon't remember praying for chickens, so I did it anyway...Poor babies, poorMama and company. I hate to see the little ones have to suffer. I've been positive all day today that they will be ok. Love you
