Vet said there was no coccidia or bacteria in the stool sample. All the red stringy stuff was coagulated blood. The only thing she saw in the stool sample was what looked like yeast hyphae, so perhaps she has a little yeast growth in her gut. She did an exam and felt an enlarged liver and saw a...

I have a 6-7 year old "only" chicken who went off food (Nutrena feather fixer) a couple weeks ago. Was still eating regular treats of dried meal worms and a few sunflower seeds. Also. an occasional pea or a couple wax beans I'd give her from the garden. Three days ago, noticed she did not come...

I did shake the bottle well before administering .5 ml yesterday afternoon. Today, I've monitored the poops, and she just had another one with a still moving round worm. This is approximately 20 hours after treatment. I know this is a slow-acting dewormer, but it seems they would be dead by...

Yesterday, I treated a hen with Valbazen late in the afternoon because I found a roundworm in her poop. This morning, I found two more worms in a large poop. The worms were still moving, albeit very slowly. I checked the bottle and it expired in December 2018. In the past when I've treated with...

khind, did you find that the expired Valbazen was effective. Yesterday, a treated a hen with my Valbazen because I found a roundworm in her poop. This morning, I found two more worms in a large poop. The worms were still moving slightly. I checked the bottle and it expired in December 2018. In...

I found roundworms in cecal poop on 7/11/19. They were still moving. This chicken (yes, I have one chicken) has had roundworms before, and I have successfully treated with Safe-Guard paste (pea-sized dollop for 3 days) followed by re-treatment in 10 days with either Safe-Guard or Valbazen. This...

Yes, I've always planned to have a necropsy done at the vet school here in Madison when she passes. She's been an interesting chicken to care for!

My vet looked at the sample. The white egg-like things are calcified and very hard. Her best guess is that they are kidney stones. Also, the stool sample was very dark, and in light of the fact that the chicken hasn't been eating anything that would make it that dark, she thinks there is blood...

No, I don't know if it's just grit, so hopefully the vet can look under the microscope to evaluate for that. Here is the photo of last July's episode of these mystery eggs. They seem so similar looking to one another, the egg-like shapes that is. I would guess pieces of grit would look a little...

I found this poop about a hour ago inside the chicken run on top of some newspaper. I only have one chicken, so I know where it came from! It seems to have small, no more than 1 mm in diameter, eggs in a loose cluster in what might be some shed intestinal lining on top of the urates. She has...

I will try to get a picture of the next loose poop and one of Mabel. Yes, I do provide oyster shell free choice, though with her off for the winter from laying, she really isn't wanting it. I will check her crop in the morning. In the past, she as had a slow crop that cleared after regular...

I have a chicken who has taken to eating a lot of grit lately, both granite that I offer, as well as lots of little stones that are in the sand in the covered run. She only eats Nutrena's Feather Fixer as her food, and gets 1-2 red seedless grapes per day and maybe a 1/2 T of raw shelled...

I'm pretty diligent about picking up poop, like every 2-4 hours today. The thing that concerns me is it was in a fairly fresh poop within a pinkish area. Almost like her intestines are being irritated. However, all the tape worm egg/segment pics I've seen show them spread out on the poop, not...

In a poop today, I noticed a pinkish blob that I was worried was blood, so I took a closer look with a magnifying glass. I separated the poop near the reddish blob and was struck by the sight of clusters of tiny white spheres on or within the pinkish area. I took pictures with a high resolution...

Update: Good news. After the round of Corid (in water for 7 days and by mouth for first 3 days-see previous posts for specific dosages), she seems to be fully recovered. I have seen no more blood in her poop with some pretty careful checking the first week or so after the Corid. She's been back...

Heard back from casportpony that when she does give Corid via needleless syringe into the mouth, she does it for 1-3 days. She verified the dose for my chicken to be .32 ml each dose by mouth. I just finished giving her her third day of Corid this way, and will continue to have it in her water...

And, just to clarify, this is syringing the Corid liquid in by mouth, not an injection.

I heard back from my vet who said she didn't see any evidence of cocci in the poop sample, but there was some newspaper debris included which may have hid some of the cocci. She thought it would be worth trying to treat for cocci anyways. I bought the Corid liquid 9.6% and mixed up a quart with...

I suppose it could be cocci. I've never dealt with that. I did get this chicken from a family who was moving, and it is the offspring of their own chickens, so I doubt they vaccinated but hopefully they fed it medicated chick starter. I have no way of verifying that. I have a message in to my...

I was able to get a stool sample to my vet today, and she saw no parasites under the microscope. No fecal float done. She says the red things are clotted blood and thinks she has inflammation of her intestinal tract from something. I had mentioned to the vet when I called her with the foamy eyes...
