yes, she's still on antibiotics, I gave her ducolax about 5 hours ago, and I'm going to the vet now...The motility drug I mentioned earlier, molasses or magnesium would NOT be a good idea for this hen, unless a vet says so. Her intestines need to relax and heal, and will be slow during the process. Cocoanut oil and water should make it easier on them. So would docusate sodium, but I don't know about continuing that without a vet rx, and I am not sure she really needs it after making a puddle. She's still on antibiotics, right?
... It makes me wonder if she is absorbing any water into her systems, since it just seems to pass right through her....
Yes, it does look sort of dry... I take it that means she isn't absorbing as many nutrients? The latest dropping is a definite improvement over the previous ones, not that it is good looking at all... just better than the ones overnight!They do have trouble absorbing nutrients with digestive issues, but it sounds like she's getting some. Does her face/comb look dry?
