Hi, my Booted Bantam (Gold Millifleur Sablepoot) is unwell and going down hill.
It all started a few days back when we noticed one of her eyes were closed. We thought she might have got an infection but after bathing and checking the eye we noticed there wasnt anything wrong and she just had it shut. We also noticed she was hobbling slightly on one leg but didnt think too much to it.
She then went on another couple of days with the eye still shut but moving around ok but with a slight hobble.
This morning we found her really bad with both eyes closed an struggling to move around. We took her to the vets but they were unsure what it was. They checked both eyes and all the limbs for injury but the hen wasnt giving anything away.
She only started laying 1-2 weeks ago and was suppose to have been vaccinated against mareks.
Can anybody shed any light? The vet has given her some anti inflamitaries but she hasnt improved any yet.
