I searched also and found nothing, but that is what it is labeled. Maybe the vet made up the name and really did just give her children's amoxicillin?!
She is bathing twice a day in iodine.
Finally some answers. She found a vet that would see her hen. He did some skin scrapings and it is a bacterial infection and a yeast infection. She's on antibiotics and also a special wash. Thanks for your interest!
Posting for a friend...Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? I don't know much about her condition other than having the pictures and that the hen is lethargic.[/IMG]
I think I would probably run a heat lamp out there. The other chickens attacking the chick is a very real concern. I've seen what chickens can do to a young baby and "it aint pretty". It's a good idea to keep them safely separated for about 6 weeks or so.
I am surprised she is staying on the eggs. My hens will leave any eggs that haven't hatched by the time the first chick is about 2 days old. When are the other eggs due to hatch?
As long as she can snuggle down in the nest box, in a draft free coop, she should be fine. You could give her a heat...
