Welcome to BYC! I don't know any nurses, so I have to order all of my stuff.

LOL! Well now you do! I have a chicken who was dropped off in Tractor Supply Company's parking lot yesterday... AND yesterday we took her in. We had to euthanize her sister because she was already too far gone But this one is fighting... HARD. She had Gapeworms... doing typical gapeworm behavior... stretching neck.. opening her mouth and gasping for air. I dewormed her with Wazine 17% (which i know doesnt cover Gapeworms) and Safegaurd for goats. This morning before i left for work she wasnt gasping for air Thank God but i dewormed her again and will continue to for 3 more days. I was reading this forum because i may have to tube her. From where she was overly infested with worms... her crop appears to have soured It is "moldable" to touch but it has already went down significantly since i dewormed just once. And went i palpate/massage i can hear and feel gurgling. I bought some Monistat and have probiotics at home. I'm gonna go home and make a little mixture consisting of Kefir, 85 Billion Count Probiotic, Pedialyte, and Monistat and probably tube it to her. Wish me luck! I get to play nurse to a chicken now LOL!
