    Merek's disease?

    I have posted a couple different threads about my Golden Laced Wyandotte. She's 2 1/2. Her symptoms looked a lot like internal laying, ascites or EYP. Her symptoms don't look like that much at this point. She has recovered to a point where she is alert, highly interested in food and water again...

    Updates on my sick golden Laced wyandotte

    I brought her some water and after about 5 seconds she finally opened her eyes and drank quite a bit. I was happy to see that. I put a little food near her but she wasn't too interested. I want to give her soft foods that are easy to eat

    Updates on my sick golden Laced wyandotte

    I'm just trying to decide if I should continue meds and force her food and water. Or if I should just let her be comfy. And also, she hasn't laid an egg since last fall I believe. All my girls stopped for a few months. Just started up again. She may have laid one right before she got sick...

    10 mg a day I believe. Her crop seemed totally fine to me. Seemed to be emptying properly. The only thing I noticed was the super swollen belly. And very stinky poo. Worse than usual chicken poo. Today she just went downhill. I really don't think she'll make it through the night.

    Yeah, shes not doing well. She's been laying with her eyes closed all day. She only opens them if I physically lift her up, or sometimes just walk in the door. I just dont know if I should force feed her or force water or force medicine, or just leave her alone. She's been staying strong and...

    Thank you guys for your reply. Personally, I can't put my girls down. No matter what. I do know, or am 99% sure she will be passing soon. She was laying with one leg behind her, one leg under her and has had hee eyes closed all day. I readjusted her to put both her feet under her and yellow...

    Updates on my sick golden Laced wyandotte

    Hey all! I posted about my golden Laced a couple of days ago. I have some updates of how she's acting and some more questions. So she's been eating. Not a ton, but she's still interested in food. Still drinking. I've been giving her amoxicillin for 6 days now, but it doesn't seem to be...

    I'm leaning toward ascites. I was reading the symptoms here: http://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2017/06/water-belly-or-ascites-in-backyard.html?m=1 And she has some, but not all of the symptoms. The one that made me think it's this, is last night when I was feeding her, she made kind of a gurgling...

    She ate quite a bit today. I kept her inside today, since she got worse when she was outside yesterday. She doesn't move around a lot, but still very interested in food. Her abdomen definable does feel swollen. What does that indicate?

    Update: I honestly have no idea what's wrong with her, but she has given up. Shes laying in a ball with her eyes closed and her body is starting to get cold. It happened so fast, I really dont know what it was.

    Update: She came back in tonight. All the girls went in the coop except her. She just stayed outside puffed up in a ball. When I went to grab her she practically fell over. She hardly as any balance. She's still highly interested in food. I gave her another Fish Mox pill tonight and hoping...
