Is the eye discharge foamy? Could be Infectious Coryza. I don't know offhand if that particular disease affects turkeys, but I'd suggest researching on the web respiratory diseases in turkeys and see what you can dig up. Different drugs treat different diseases, so be sure to get the correct drug and follow label instructions for dosing turkeys. If you suspect a contagious disease, I'd treat them all. Whether it's an illness or adjusting to a new home & people, it's stressful so give them unflavored Pedialyte to drink (at the grocery store in the baby aisle) to boost their electrolytes. Keeping them warm and quiet and out of drafts can also help them to get better. Extra goodies such as live mealworms or crickets will give them an extra protein boost and they LOVE them. Fresh greens and such are also good--anything that keeps them eating, occupied and happy--and for birds such as chickens and turkeys, eating = happy. :) Velvet ~:>

It looks like the conditon is moving upwards so if you trace backward you will find where it started. My guess is where the dying stem joins the main stem. This would indicate too much water. If these are the conditions,prune away the diseased stems and treat with a fungicide. Copper is usually effective.

I just got this new little guy here yesterday and he just started loosing his spines and turning brown today. If anyone knows anything I can do to help please tell me!

Ficus elastica (tineke): SUNLIGHT... sits in an East facing window, gets moderate direct sunlight throughout the day; WATER... watered only when first two inches are dry... I water until I see it drip through the drainage holes at the bottom then let it dry out throughout the day; FERTILIZATION... SO, I think this might be where my issue lies, however, I am not sure so I'm hoping someone can confirm my suspicions. I had thought Ficuses liked being fertilized every TWO WEEKS after reading an article that suggested that, however... I did some research again and I'm seeing more articles that state it should only be fertilized ONCE A MONTH. I use a 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer at half strength for her and have fertilized her TWICE already after waiting two weeks since the first time... am I right for thinking that it is an overfertilization issue??? PLEASE HELP!!! This bottom leaf just dropped as I was inspecting my tineke... look at those brown edges :( More brown edges... This one has a brown tip as well :( More brown edges... But she's been giving new growth on each parent plant... I've gotten one new leaf from each parent plant since spring started so that's a good sign yes? (Total of three since I have three tineke's planted in one pot). Overall health of the plant. That bottom right leaf was like that when I bought it so pay no mind to it.
