The above treatment regimen was started, but apparently not quickly enough, as all the affected chicks died. As I said in my first article, I've had tests performed on living birds, tests performed on birds with the disease that were killed for the purpose of doing the tests, and complete necropsies, none of which provided an answer about the cause of this problem. In those circumstances, the slightest glimmer of hope is almost like a spotlight aimed at the problem. ACS is very lucky to have people willing to share their experiences in order to add to our body of knowledge on this and other subjects. As always, you should consult your veterinarian when you experience health problems with your birds.
