This hen was acting lethargic, and had yellowish sticky droppings all stuck to her bottom several weeks ago. I brought her in, wormed her, cleaned her up in a warm epsom salt bath, and gave her .5ml of Tylan 50.
I kept her isolated, and dosed her with the Tylan 50 for 5 days. She seemed to perk up so I put her back with the others in the coop. I retreated with the Valbazen 10 days after the first time. She was fine for the next few weeks.
Yesterday, I noticed her acting the same as previously. I've just repeated the first treatment, but didn't worm her again. I took some pics prior to bathing her this time.
She's all cleaned up now and resting in a pet carrier in my bathroom. I did notice her breathing was a little raspy...but it was right after I dosed her orally with the Tylan 50, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, as I hadn't noticed it while bathing her.
From these pictures does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with this girl? I have 2 other hens that seem to be acting suspicious, but at least they're still foraging and eating, and they don't have messy bottoms. This one is not eating or drinking. She stopped the first time too...
I'm stumped...Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks!
