We have a 10 month old Serama hen who about 3 weeks ago just started acting off. We brought her in and have her in a crate in the house. She had watery stools and She couldn't walk. We didn't know if she had been injured by the Serama rooster we have. She is eating and drinking fine but still after 3 weeks can't week. She tries but no go. We took her to an avian vet (which was very difficult to find in our area) and they couldn't find anything broken and thought it could be neurological. Did a fecal and it came back coccidia. They have us tube feeding her which is traumatic for her and us! She loves to sit with my hubby and gets upset when he walks away. Even the dog sleeps beside her crate now. She is very alert...eats and drinks fine. Prior to the vet visit, we used Corid and B12. The vet prescribed TMZ as an antibiotic...after one dose we thought she was a goner. She wouldn't eat or drink and was non responsive. We discontinued call the vet and they basically said they didn't know what we should do. The next morning after the drugs were out of her system...she was her chirpy little self. Any suggestions? I think I am changing her name to Rocky because she is a little fighter for sure.
