Keep giving the shots! Horses get shots of it twice a day, maybe that would also help.

Shots are often recommended for 3 days only. So yes, keep giving them but only for 3 days.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

I guess I should add that I have never been told to give an antibiotic for less than five days, shot, pill or liquid. In fact, I have been told by vets and doctors that antibiotic treatment should extend a couple of days past the point of a healthy animal/person to ensure that the bacteria has been dealt with.

Is it really black o r could it be blood? Put some of it on a white paper towel, add a little water if it' really dry. If it's blood, you should be able to tell. Can you take a picture of it?

Green usually just means that they haven't been eating. Keep giving the shots if it seems like he's improving.
