Poultry Aid, 2 fl.oz

I've been using this product for our Chickens for the summer if they show signs of sneezing - more as a preventative. BUT it's really shown that it works wonders when my indoor cat was showing signs of a sever upper respiratory issue. She had a very stuffy nose and slight wheezing. Quick google search told me it was safe when used as directed so I gave it a go. Instead of putting drops in her nose I chose to put it on a paper towel and wipe it on her nose. Within an hour her crusted shut nose was draining and she was no longer a mouth breather. Worth every penny and will be a staple in the house for pets.

We’ve been raising backyard chickens for a few years now, and VetRx Poultry Aid has become one of our go-to products whenever our flock shows signs of respiratory issues. A few weeks ago, one of our hens started sneezing and sounded congested—we added a few drops of VetRx to her water and applied a bit under her wings and beak as directed. Within a couple of days, we saw a noticeable improvement!What I really appreciate is that it’s made with natural ingredients and has a comforting herbal scent. It’s gentle but effective, and our birds tolerate it well. It also works great for general support during seasonal changes or stressful times, like after moving the flock or introducing new birds.Highly recommend VetRx to any poultry owner—it’s a small bottle, but it lasts a long time and really does the job. Peace of mind in a bottle!

Works for my chickens when they need a little boost

I live in France and am new to raising chickens. Of my 3 layers, one developed a sharp bark shortly after arrival. I didn't know if it was her natural cluck, a respiratory ailment , or something caught in her throat but foolishly, I let this go on for a number of months, during which time, I felt her comb became lighter and her body thinner. I’m not sure if I was imagining her decline, but I was very worried. In desperation, after much research, I bought Poultry RX from the states, as I haven't been able to find it here. It’s a very small bottle (2oz isn’t much) but it’s ideal because I was able to have someone bring it to me in their hand luggage.The hardest part to applying it, was learning to catch and hold a chicken (lots of info on the net). However, once done, the RX is incredibly easy to use. I get the bottle open and put it down, catch the chicken, pick her up holding her wings down, put some on my finger, rub it on her beak, and wipe my finger off on her feathers. She actually seems to like the taste. No objection whatsoever. I also add a drop to the chicken water and swirl it around. I’m not faithful about the application – only every two days or so.The day after the first application, I had the sense that although she was still barking she was also moaning a bit - the favorite sound of my other chickens. Another few days, and I definitely heard a chicken sound or two. Now, after two weeks, she sounds like a chicken all the time and she has given up her barking! I am thrilled. The bottle is still almost full but I am buying another one now, so I am never out of it.This is a great product for a chicken novice. I wasn’t worried that I’d poison my chicken, no antibiotics, no chicken handling skills required, inexpensive, wasn’t worried about eating the eggs… no downside.

I really like this product, but I wish the feed stores would bring back the yellow antibiotic powder, which worked great for poultry when they got sick with upper respiratory infections. This product does help to ease some breathing difficulties, but you are still going to have to go to a vet and probably get your bird put on an antibiotic.

This is my favorite, FAVORITE remedy for chickens. We are running about 100 chickens now, so over the course of time we have encountered almost everything that could possibly go wrong. I try to treat the birds with the same philosophy as the rest of the family - we use whole foods, non-GMO and organic foods, essential oils, and other natural ways of staying healthy. Using drugs is a last resort (don't get me wrong - there's a time and a place!).SO, enter the first time my chickens had "a cold". Just like people - watery eyes (often swollen, as their sinuses are right there), clogged or runny nose, even sneezing. After wading through all the online discussions where people immediately jump to giving antibiotics (which only builds resistance!), I discovered that lots of like-minded people use VetRx.We live in a remote area, and I couldn't find it in stores, so I was very thankful to see it here on Amazon.There are directions on the package for a number of different applications for this type of issue. I think by now we have tried, and appreciate, most of them. We apply directly to the "nose" area of sick birds, as well as under their wings so that they have the vapors to inhale when they tuck their heads under their wings to sleep. We dilute in warm water and swab inside their mouths. We drip some into the coop bedding to give everyone a bit of vapor inhalation overnight. We drop a few drops into the reservoirs of the big waterers after filling, so that drinking chickens can get a bit on their beaks for a little treatment. All of the direct applications we do only on sick birds; the community applications we use to keep the flock healthy while we are treating sick birds.We do also use other real food treatments for the flock during this time (Apple Cider Vinegar, oregano in the feed, etc.), but Vetx is the only "remedy" that we have needed to keep the birds healthy.Delightfully, the instructions also describe great uses for the product in entirely different situations - as a dressing combs and wattles, to help soothe and heal dry legs, to keep breeding birds healthy, and so on. I think I need to keep more on hand...

A must have for the poultry first aid kit. Had helped me bring a number of chickens, ducks, and geese back to help.
