Is there anything I can do in the meantime while I await for the vet to open?

My 6-8 month old paint Silkie rooster has Clostridium perfringens, I believe. He recently has been pooping very explosive, watery, green stools. The green parts are small and scattered throughout the stool. I will try to get a picture here soon. He does appear to be less active and eating...

Thank you everyone! So glad her story had a happy ending! <3

I will try to get some updated pictures of her tomorrow :) She is still doing very well thankfully. Her neck feathers have regrown but are not as long and thick so they look “off” lol. Her wound has completely healed & I think that the brown thick skin scab is also completely gone (need to...

Checking back to ask a few questions! :) My Pilgrim geese pair are all around excellent mannered and a joy to have! :) I was thinking of adding an additional female in the spring to create a trio. The original pairing will be almost a year old. Is this an acceptable choice? Are the original...

How many days in a row do I inject the penicillin into the breast? Rotating sides, correct?

Also, what needle size from TSC for Silkies?

I said penicillin as I already have it handy but I can go to TSC & look for Tylan. Yes, I still have the deceased one. He passed late Sunday night or very early Monday morning so he is very stiff... what would I need to do for the necropsy? Thanks for the dosage & help! <3

This is not my photo but definitely what theirs looks like. I will try to take a picture today of their actual stools.

Hello, I have a small Silkie flock where one juvenile randomly passed yesterday. He was out and about very sluggish, puffed up, I brought him inside, and he passed away that night. No signs of trauma, no bloody stools (in fact, I didn’t see any stools), nothing. He wasn’t underweight? Today I...

A HUGE thank you again to everyone who has been following and gave input. <3

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in weeks. Anywho, just wanted to let everyone who has been following along that Gretchen is a rock star and has made a full recovery. The lacerations near the top of her neck has completely sealed up and the huge open laceration exposing her crop has closed up as...

No problem! Glad to see her chicken is doing a-okay! :) Hubs and I are planning on taking them out tomorrow evening. He had a late work night yesterday and today on top of grocery shopping and graduate courses. I will update after the suture removal tomorrow evening or Saturday morning...

Hi! Best of luck to your and your chicken! :hugs Rooting for you two! <3 Here is my thread on the downright awful attack on my English Orpington: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-neck-attack-help.1198490/ My chicken and the wonderful people on here have taught me a lot and...

I know this might be a silly question but since it's my first chicken attack, I thought I'd leave the stitches in for a longer time due to the depth of the lacerations. Again, I'm by no means an expert or vet. I can have my husband help me remove them tonight. Should I or wait a bit longer?

Her appetite and weigh appear to be good. She is back to free ranging daily with Mable. :) no egg yet.

It's been about 2-3 weeks since the attack. When should I remove the stitches?
