Hi Dr.
Many factors may interfering with the treatment (i.e. just antibiotic not enough ), so I suggest you follow the following quoted informations:
A number of drugs will lower mortality from fowl cholera; however, deaths may resume when treatment is discontinued, showing that treatment does not eliminate P multocida from a flock. Eradication of infection requires depopulation and cleaning and disinfection of buildings and equipment. The premise should then be kept free of poultry for a few weeks.
Sulfonamides and antibiotics are commonly used; early treatment and adequate dosages are important. Sensitivity testing often aids in drug selection and is important because of the emergence of multiresistant strains. Sulfaquinoxaline sodium in feed or water usually controls mortality, as do sulfamethazine and sulfadimethoxine. Sulfas should be used with caution in breeders because of potential toxicity. High levels of tetracycline antibiotics in the feed (0.04%), drinking water, or administered parenterally may be useful. Norfloxacin administered via drinking water is also effective against fowl cholera. However, many countries do not allow the use of quinolones in food-producing animals, including poultry, because of the risk of development of drug resistance. Penicillin is often effective for sulfa-resistant infections. In ducks, a combined injection of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin can be effective.
Why ? chloromphenicol.you can use analogue of chloramphenicol and has a similar spectrum of activity such as Thiamphenicol.
return to your question: Birds you treated with chloromphenicol may be exposed to a septicemic shock.
best regards
Hi coleague
Thanks for clinical good question.
I think that answer of Dr. Aaiz is scientific, I agree with him.
Many regards
Hello
I do not prefer Chloramphenicol to treat fowl cholera, firstly you must doing antibiotic sensitivity test, secondly there are number of drugs will lowered mortality of fowl cholera Sulfaquinoxaline sodium in feed or water usually controls mortality, as do sulfamethazine and sulfadimethoxine.
regards
thank you Dr. F. AL-Araji
I asked if I used ( bactericidal), the result increased the mortality. why?
regards
