I have a hen who has been put through the wringer this year. She got sick in the spring, went on antibiotics, and has never been the same. Recently, she started acting very sick, flat deflated comb. We gave her some nutridrench, and noticed she is moulting, so assumed the moult was the culprit. She perked up a little, but a few days later her comb was deathly pale, and upon closer inspection I can see she's covered in Mites. My vet gave us some "Boss" which is a treatment for mites and lice I guess. We sprayed her down yesterday (and all of them actually), and today I found some crawling off of her on to me (EEEEEKKK!!!). She's also SUPER lethargic today, so we gave her more nutridrench, and she ate some scrambled egg. But I'm so worried about her. Will she recover? I worry that we left this too long untreated. The guilt is killing me.
