I have a 3 year old hen who has been unwell for a while and not improving.
I noticed a roundworm in her poop one morning a while back and she’s since been through 2 rounds of SafeGuard (I finished the second round 2 days ago). I haven’t seen anymore worms but she hasn’t gone back to normal.
She eats voraciously and drinks water. Her crop feels squishy and normal. No mites and her vent looks fine. She’s very bony and skinny and I don’t feel any swelling anywhere. Her comb has remained red but her face and legs are very pale. The last couple of days her comb color has deteriorated and is becoming purple. Her poops went from runny yellow/green to solid green sometimes with yellow mixed in. She’s really weak and lethargic and very very wobbly on her feet. I’ve been giving her Nutridrench to try to perk her up but to no avail.
I happened to have Baytril on hand so I’ve given her 3 doses and if anything she’s gotten worse.
Any ideas? I don’t have a vet nearby that can help.
