Hi Peepsdanvers, I know this is an old thread but I am having the same issue. You say your hen survived a head injury, mine did too but she is still recovering. I have been hand feeding her daily since June 21. She was attacked by a raccoon and was scalped. She was in very bad condition for a...

I have been giving tylan 50 orally for 5 days now and they seem to be getting a lil better but not completely. Still seeing yellow diarrhea here and there too. I'm wondering if I should bump up the dosage. One hen is completely recovered.

Hi Hi! Are you having any good results?? My hen seems to not be getting better. Idk if its that time or if I should keep treating her

I know this is from a few months back but if possible I'd like to start the discussion again. First off by saying how sorry I am for your loss. It's so hard to chose that moment, but sometimes its the best choice. I am actually in the same boat right now. I have been taking care of a 2 year...

Is there any alternative to prednisone? Thank you, sounds like I need to up the selenium dose!

Some of the symptoms sound similar but she doesnt have a bump on her head. The breed I am treating is a balck Austrolorpe. She is about a year and half. Lately she has been pooping all over herself and been having to give her baths now. Good thing its 100 degrees out. I am having a hard time...

I have also considered this, as it wouldn't be fair to her to keep her alive if she did have brain damage. The reason I am leaning toward wry neck is because the 1st two weeks she showed no signs of wry neck and was only recovering from her injury. After the 2nd week her neck twisted and eyes...

I'm so sorry about your baby, it's a horrible thing to watch them go through. I wish this didn't happen to my hen either, its heart breaking to see her go through this on top of a raccoon attack. It's definitelya learning experience and just praying for the best.

Also she is isnt young. She is probably about a year and a half, if that means anything...

I didnt realize that. I havent been giving her any grit or anything I feel terrible. This morning I noticed her crop like a tight balloon full of air about to pop. It scared me so immediately we went out side and I tipped her and massaged her crop till she burped and it was empty. Felt much...

I feel the same way. I just cant give up on my animals. As long as she still has a will to live I'm going to treat her as well as I can. She is being prayed for every day by many people. I just hate that she was getting better from the attack and now this ! I will continue to do my best, I feel...

Hi, I am treating an adult 1 year old Austrolope. She was attacked by a raccoon and survived, 2 of her sisters weren't as fortunate but shes not well off right now either. Her head was scalped and deep too. Right now its been 2 and a half weeks. Her head is healing nice but has developed wry...

I am reading through these threads, this comment popped out to me because my hen was attacked by a raccoon and survived being scalped. Her head injury Is healing nice but now has developed wry neck. Is there any way of saving this hen? Its been 2 and a half weeks since attack and about 5 days...

We have been feeding her with a syringe 3x a day, the last 2 days she has been getting pureed eggs w broth and applesauce. I was hoping that would help her gain strength but today is acting very strange with her neck. Today her crop was extra big and kinda fowl smell coming from the beak. I'm no...

Hi all, looking for any input! My Austrolope named Big Black survived a raccoon attack. Her neck is injured and she hasn't been able to peck since it happened. Today is the 12th day and today was the first day she started showing weakness in her neck. Her neck is resting sideways and shes...

Hi all, thank you for your concern. We are on the 11th day of treating the injured birds. They seem to be doing better and I think they'll make it. I have been using Neosporin and vetericyn and also the purple dot spray. Have been making a saline solution every 2 days and cleaning the wounds 3x...
