They have been diagnosed with chlamydia but not responded to doxycycline or enrofloxacin. They&#39;ve asked about the use of azithromycin.

Sounds environmental maybe worth looking at housing environmental parameters and ventilation depending upon the numbers involved.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/211330?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 May 2019 23:18:04 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c116dc61-b27c-497d-9d78-a358230a5df7Michael Woodhouse<p>A quick google suggests the disease is generally self limiting. If you need to treat then there&#39;s lots of other veterinary antibiotics to consider first.</p> <p>What are the clinical signs and how is the maangement?
