Lethargic, comb limp, UPDATE!! HOPEFULLY A BIT BETTER!

Date sort Score sort
Hennie was down and out for the morning and early afternoon. barely able to stand. But late afternoon I gave her a big piece of bread which she ate with enthusiasm and then when I went out with egg, she was standing tall and alert!!!! I laced the boiled mashed egg with vitamin b for an added boost. Her pen smells like the worse poo I have ever smelled, though I cant see it so I guess it was liquid and slipped down through the bedding. I am hoping the worse was over. I don't know if I should continue with the dose for the next 4 days or not.
 
Yikes! Poor Hennie, but she does keep coming right back, doesn't she? No idea whether to keep going on the wormer or not. I mean, is it like antibiotics where once you start them the best thing is to finish them?
 
I am not sure about the wormer, I don't think it is like antibiotics..... I think most people just worm once, from what I read. But I think cetain worms are a little more persistant and need more doses to effectively kill...... I just don't want to put Hennie through that if I dont need to.
Right now, she continues to improve. I just gave her some gatorade. she seemed to sort of like it. Her appetite is good.... a full slice of bread and nearly an entire egg today!
