Ruth, I treat with antibiotics all the time for mycoplasma. If you get her in their soon enough and get her started on them, she should be fine....if that is what she has.

Make sure to give her a good diet while in your care....yogurt, greens, etc. Fill her up with only the good stuff. Wink

mum has come back from the vets. its a respiratory thing but the vet doesnt know wot. he didnt give us tylan just these weird antibiotics and some wormer. ive given seni some dissolved chick crumb, but the vet wasnt evr optimistic at all. i think im going 2 lsoe her, first jokan now her, i cant cope. mums also worried it has spread to the rest of the flock, which means i culd b dealing with losing all of them if hey get it. its cost us £21.50 wnite for sum anitibotics and a check over, and mum said she cant do that for all of them. im findin it really hard wot with losin jokan last week and now riskin losin seni

I don't know what to say to you that will be of help. Make sure she gets the antibiotics and the wormer. Some people swear by acv for respiratory problems, might be worth a try. just wanted you to know I had read this and wasn't ignoring you, hope she gets better and everyone else is OK,

The vet gave us Baytril Oral. Shes had some of that some wormer and an injection, Im praying she will be okay as I honestly cannot face losing her after losing Jokan last Wednesday So im hoping it wil do wot u have said it does
