    Please help! Emaciated chicken!

    She’s about 5. Hasn’t been laying. She mostly stops laying in the winter time. Her crop feels mostly empty with some grit. The antibiotic was LinxMed- SP. I have not dewormed or given probiotics. She does not have mites. I tried to get her to eat plain Greek yogurt but she’s not interested.

    Please help! Emaciated chicken!

    I have a hen who has been severely emaciated for about a week now. She recently got over a pretty bad intestinal bacterial infection after I took her to the vet and got antibiotics. I thought she was ok for about a month then noticed she has been declining. She has liquid dripping from vent. It...

    Chick Help!!

    Please help! I have a month old Serama chick that, just a couple days ago, started showing weekness in its legs. It lays down a lot and stumbles around and lays one one side more. I’ve tried treating with vitamins, but it doesn’t seem to be working

    Performing Humane Euthanasia. PTSD-like symptoms

    I dealt with the exact same thing, I kept trying to have hope, and while that’s still a good thing, it isn’t always the right thing for certain scenarios. I kept trying everything I could possibly do and the more I thought about him laying there wasting away, I knew what I had to do but I was...

    Performing Humane Euthanasia. PTSD-like symptoms

    Yeah I feel like I had to, no matter what, put my own selfish feelings aside for their sake.

    Help! Sick chick!

    He was too far gone and I believe he was suffering. He didn’t eat or drink just lay there twitching in pain. I humanely euthanized by cervical dislocation. I tried everything I could possibly do. I know he is no longer in pain. Doing that is one of the hardest things. I sat there for hours...

    Help! Sick chick!

    No I mean the goat vitamins, Selenium and vitamin E gel, for wry neck. I bought it and tried the vitamin E gel capsules but I think he is too far gone. He won’t eat on his own and will only drink with a dropper or if I put his beak in water. Could this be Marek’s?

    Help! Sick chick!

    Does the selenium and vitamin E gel have enough? And how much should I give? Also where can I buy the 400iu E capsules? He’s at a point where he can’t even eat or drink on his own

    Help! Sick chick!

    I have a 3 and a half week old Serama chick that, a couple days ago, couldn’t move his feet and it got worse and now he just lays down sleeping with his wings spread out and his feet keep trying to go up over his head? What can I do to save him?
