Watery, explosive diarrhea

[Eggcessive]

I would mix up a mash that contains chicken layer feed, a sppoonful of plain yogurt or cottage cheese, a little cooked scrambled egg, and a lot of water to make it like then oatmeal. Some vitamins would not hurt, and I use human vitamin B complex 1/4 tablet daily crushed onto feed.

Valbazen dosage is 0.08 ml per pound—a 5 pound chicken would get 0.4 ml given orally, and repeat that in 10 days.

If using the SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, give 1/4 ml per pound (1 1/4 ml for a 5 pound hen) once and again in 10 days. For hard to treat worms, such as gapeworm and capillary worms, give it for 5 consecutive days.

Thank you! She has not pooped since this morning, but I can hear her tummy making noises. What do you think about me trying to get a sample, hopefully by in the morning, to take to the vet before starting any treatment? Our co-op is closed and I would have to drive to the next town for anything, which I would gladly do.

I gave her Nutri Drench this morning, she is drinking water. She ate a good amout of plain greek yogurt, softened chick feed and chicken liver/salmon/egg/squash mixture.

Try putting her in a dog crate overnight to collect some droppings. If you have puppy pads or something similar to collect some fresh droppings. Hopefully they will become more solid so you can collect some.

@casportpony what do you think about the poop photos?

I will have to get more puppy pads tomorrow, I gave my box away. As soon as I put the hen back in the Guinea Pig cage, she pooped green watery liquid all in the shavings. I will try again in the morning.

@Sue Gremlin @Eggcessive she had some formed poo this morning.

Were you able to collect some to take in to your vet for testing?

This evening, after the vet closed. I have it in a jar ready to go. I took her to the garage to walk around and stretch. She pooped and went to hide.

Do you think I should start Corid (based on looks) or just wait?

Thank you for all your time

Corid is not harmful if you want to go ahead and start it. Dosage is 2 tsp or 10 ml of the Corid liquid per gallon of water for 5-7 days.
