depression and whitish watery diarfhea. Individual birds may have
crop distension, sunken eyes, dark blue combs, shriveled shanks.

spots may appear on the liver Enlargement of kidneys is common
with the accumulation of urates.
CAUTION: Accurate diagnosis is necessary to d’fferentiate between Blue
Comb and Fowl Cholera.
TREATMENT; Several types of treatment formerly recommended have
mostly been replaced, by the use of the Broad Spectrum antibiotics or
a combination of one of these with Furazolidone contained in a
highly iortified f 09cl.
