Just last month, i bought six 7weeks old turkey chicks. Unfortunately i lost one to a chronic infection, now remaining five. Since then, the infection still persists despite using 'poxformular', a drug recommended.
At first, 3 of the 5 chicks were badly infected with swollen eyes ( like the swelling is filled with water), but presently they all have the same infection, the worst ever. I'm so worried right now. I'll be glad if anyone can recommend a drug, mixture or whatever to make it go away. It's been like this for 4 weeks plus now.
They are about 11 weeks old.

Get Qei's NARV-P and mix in their drinking water.

They'll all be fine in 1week.

EMMAACHILE:

This is my personal advice, you need an antibiotic that deals with a mycoplasma disease. It's a common disease in poultry. Its likely one of the two pathogens below in your turkey flock.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum: signs can include foamy eyes, sneezing, nasal discharge, swollen eyelids and sinuses, reduced egg production and gasping in chickens, turkeys and pheasants, swollen sinuses in waterfowl. This one is the main culprit in backyard flocks.

Mycoplasma synoviae: signs include swollen and hot joints in chickens and turkeys and/or respiratory signs as above, or thin, deformed shells at the broad (apical) end of the egg.


Recommended Drug: Est mix wsp for five days
Use recommended dosage of at least 3ml in 6 litres per day.

A good multivitamin like power it is also needed.
Good luck.

EMMAACHILE:
Prevention (Medical recommendations)

Keep stressors to a minimum or if a known stressor such as a show is imminent, give vitamin supplementation. There are several useful products on the market which contain probiotics and/or vitamins, administered in the water.
Stressors here include heat, low feed quality, pecking order, etc.

Use a suitable disinfectant for both huts and equipment.
Polidine disinfectant will work wonders here

Keep dust and ammonia levels low by having ventilation on two sides of the room and never closing it off.
Most people are guilty of this

Feed high quality commercial food for the stage of growth and the species of bird.
What feed are you using?

obstead200:
on point.
Looks like an upper respiratory tract infection and also some symptoms of wet pox.
Revaccinate against fowl pox. Then Use a combination of these drugs below:
Viracid
Bio GMP (mycoplasma)
Any other drug containing ciprofloxaxin.

Any good vet store will have them. Act fast. They will be fine in one week. Problem is that for just 6 birds, these drugs would cost u a lot (about 4k in all). May not be worth it.
Would suggest u leave EST mix for now.

EMMAACHILE:

Good advice though Est mix wsp can replace those drugs you listed over there with a broader spectrum including almost all respiratory poultry disease, antifungal, anticocci and some cold related ones.
Remember its a combination of three powerful active ingredients
Erythromycin (as thiocyanate) 180 mg
Sulphadiazine (as sodium) 150 mg
Trimethoprim 30 mg

jfkenny:
I used vitacox plus wsp on my turkey..

obstead200:
that was not what cleared the pox. It simply ran its natural circle. The vitacox only managed opportunistic infections that came with the pox

I started with broiler starter, then changed to 'grower', it's what I'm using currently.


It is exactly these symptoms they have, gasping, foamy eyes, sneezing...

Someone suggested vaccination, is that equally okay?
Thank you for the response.
