    Hen with Gapeworm, Safeguard Dosage Help?

    After trying to research this I am now only more confused! I have a hen who most likely has Gapeworm. Being the rest of my flock appears to be happy and not showing any symptoms or issues, my thought was to only treat the single hen. There seems to be a lot of discrepancies regarding dosage. I...

    Seizure? Any ideas of cause? Hen died :(

    :( I lost her this morning. It was horrible. She didn't seem any worse than yesterday when I got up this morning. She still wouldn't eat any of the goodies I offered her, but she was alert. I was doing dishes and all of the sudden she started thrashing around in the dog crate. I ran over picked...

    Seizure? Any ideas of cause? Hen died :(

    Also, does coccidiosis usually cause a chicken to want to stand all the time rather than lay down? Normally she likes to lay in hay so that is what I placed in the dog crate for her. I will try a towel, but even before I separated her from the flock she was standing all the time when normally...

    Seizure? Any ideas of cause? Hen died :(

    Thank you for the responses. I really appreciate the coccidiosis suggestion. It sounds like this could be her problem. I have tried to give her oatmeal, scrambled eggs without any luck. She just won't eat. I am 2 hours from the nearest vet for testing. Does anyone know if harm could be done if...

    Seizure? Any ideas of cause? Hen died :(

    I have a chicken who has been lethargic, standing in the same spot, eyes closed a lot, white diarrhea. She won't eat, but drinks water. I checked her bum and it looks clear at the vent. She does have white poo residue sticking on her feathers. No coughing, wheezing, runny nose or discharge of...

    Hen Cannot Walk, both legs paralyzed?

    As of tonight she is really going downhill. Very foul smell...appears to be suffering from vent gleet now. Panting and I thought it was sweat on her towel in the crate, but now I am wondering if it is discharge since it smells and I just read up on vent gleet. She has white poo coming out...

    Hen Cannot Walk, both legs paralyzed?

    I posted previously about my bantam frizzle cochin not using one of her legs. She started out hopping around, avoiding weight on 1 leg, a couple weeks later she was dragging that leg behind her so I brought her inside to try to heal. Now it has been 6 weeks since the first signs and both legs...

    Paralyzed leg? Dragging, not bending

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. Off to do lots of research reading up on those links! Just found some pedialite at the store. She loves it so it makes me feel a little better she is at least getting some nutrients, but she has only eaten a couple raspberries. Won't touch her favorite...

    Paralyzed leg? Dragging, not bending

    She made it through the night thankfully, but she hardly opens her eyes. She is drinking if I hold her to the dish, but she is not eating. I am not familiar with Marek's so I guess I better start reading up. I realize there is probably a lot of info on here regarding the disease, but can she...

    Limping Bantam Frizzle - Bumblefoot? Scaly Mites? Pictures

    She came from a place that sells chickens as their business, but I do not know if she was vaccinated. She is about 8 months old I believe.

    Paralyzed leg? Dragging, not bending

    I posted on an old thread from almost a month ago, but thought the title didn't fit what I am dealing with now, so thought I would try again. This injury started back in mid August with a slight limp. Suspected bumblefoot other than it was not really swollen and there wasn't a scab. Her scales...

    Limping Bantam Frizzle - Bumblefoot? Scaly Mites? Pictures

    I need some help. I do not believe little Gizmo had scaly leg. We went through the process of treating it just in case, but none of our other 12 chickens show any sign and she has not healed. We prepared for bumblefoot surgery, but she does not appear to have bumblefoot. She was getting worse...
