Help Emergency!!! Hen pooping straight blood

[KennyRae]

Is corid similar to that? It was fairly expensive for 1 bottle so if it works the same I'll stick with corid. Hopefully by the second day of treatment she'll be ok like yours was.

I hope so too

I don't know all the drug facts and similarities but there are some folks here on BYC that will gladly inundate you with vet talk- I bought what said it was for treatment of direct cocci and not just a preventative. It wasn't cheap either so I'd stick with what I had too unless it just wasn't working for you. Good luck

FYI, Corid can be used as a preventative *and* as a treatment.

Thanks, I've noticed that she has a squishy crop now and her breath kind if smells like sour crop. She passed a lump of some type of stringy material and some blood. I'm starting to wonder if it's an impaction that lead to sour crop, but that still doesn't explain all the blood unless whatever's impacted is causing it. I think I might try some monistat on her, because i don't think she'll last much longer, and I might as well try everything I can.

Can you post a picture of it?

A picture of her or the stringy poop? I pulled the poop pellet thing apart and it looked fibery like grass or feathers or something of that sort and it smelled terrible, there was also a little blood and liquid

Poop pictures can be very helpful. So many thing can cause bloody poop, and often it's more than just one thing. Have you been giving corid? If so, how much?

[KennyRae]

We gave her the liquid corid at about 1/2 of a teaspoon per pint, we only have a little dish of water in her cage. And I disposed of the stringy stuff already but here's another poop.

This is her now
