Thank you. It is very sad for me to see my remaining flock of five when just two weeks ago I had seven. Time will heal I guess. Thanks for your caring thoughts. I really tried so hard to save her.

The vet diagnosed it as fatty liver disease. I do not know what lymphoid leukosis is?

Thank you. Tansy was euthanized yesterday. I am drained and heartbroken.

Update on Tansy: my dear hen, Tansy was euthanized yesterday. I asked for a necropsy of her internal organs. Tansy had not eaten since around Jan. 22. Except when I tried to force about 1/4 tsp of moistened mash into her beak. Last weekend she spent about 30 min. Outdoors and I found worms for...

We have always been golden retriever owners. To date we have two. One is four and one is around ten. The latter is a rescue. I put the things you suggested in my Amazon cart. I think I already have the syringe. I do not have the tube. I would really need to have a tutorial on how to use...

Here is Tansy:

I think the vet drained her crop. I have some large syringes the vet gave me but I have been unable to successfully use them. Yesterday she ate several worms and ate a few pieces of grit. I had hoped this would help her digest something. But today she has even more brown fluid dripping out...

Update: I had a lengthy consultation with the vet. Surprisingly she has not lost anny weight , and seems alert. And looked at the X-ray. No egg binding, no tumor, no evidence of blockage. She put a tube into the crop and drew out the fluid. Tested it. No evidence of bacteria. The only...

Well she actually is doing better today, so euthanasia plans have been paused to give her a chance. She is much more alert, foraged in the yard for 30 min. And ate a handful of mealworms. Vet check tomorrow. I am cautiously optimistic. I have dealt with a similar situation once before and the...

No brown liquid today, but she has also eaten nothing. No bad odor . Yesterday she ate a bit of hard boiled egg and then expelled brown liquid into the bowl. So it seems to happen if she tries to eat. I checked her crop several times today including this morning and it is small but squishy...

Yes, I read that article today. I have massaged her crop several times today. No difference. Scrambled egg, yogurt, probiotics in the water. She would take no food. It is now going on really two weeks since she started feeling off. I have heen talking to two crows as well. I think at this...

Thank you for the suggestions. I have done all this with no improvement. I am thinking of having her euthanized. I am very sad. But she is suffering I think. No food for five days.

Thank you. I will feed her high protein if she starts eating again.

Her breath doesn’t smell sour. Her diet is Purina Layena crumbles. It’s in a feeder in the run. We have been giving them some scratch before bed because it’s been so cold. Her favorite treat is sunflower seeds but she has stopped eating those, or really anything. Sunflower treats were given...

I have a very sick hen who has just returned from a hospital visit where bloodwork revealed her liver enzymes are high. 520 I think. She spent two days there on supportive care. When they released her the vet said she was eating and drinking on her own, and her poop was normal. I have not...
