    Help! Chicken sick for 2 months

    My beautiful girl Ying was put to sleep today at the vets. On examination the vet told us she had pneumonia and every system in her body was deteriorating. There was no treatment or surgery that could have helped her. On autopsy he had found an abrasion had happened just under her gizzard had...

    She seems to be getting more tired. The vet said something about spinning it in a centrifuge and examined under microscope. He seemed quite confident there was nothing but if he cant find anything tomorrow I'll ask for it to be sent away for a float test.

    Vet unfortunately couldn't find any traces of any kind of worm in the samples I gave him, even after I showed him the below image he said it didn't look like tape worm segments and said he'd expect her to have diarrhea if the case. Bringing her in on Saturday for a full check.

    Help! Chicken sick for 2 months

    Cant believe I've put my girl through this for so long I had no idea what I was looking at. Thank you! Will any fecal float test confirm what kind of worm it is or does it have to be a special one? Also the wormer I took an image of, is that okay to stick with for my other girls or should I...

    Guys I think you're right and definitely tapeworm!!! I cant see any of the white worms move like in the video though but it sure looks like it. Or could there be another kind of worm?? Should I still get the equimax? If I do should I go off the above dosage or will it be too much for her in her...

    I've called a stock feed and they do have Equimax and equimax elevation. A vet has a focal float test available too. Will any focal float test work for a chook? I will also study her poop more better when I come home today.

    Thank you for responding and for your help. It seems there is not too much I can do if it is mareks. But I will do more research on tapeworm. From my knowledge we don't have a viable chicken vet in town but I will ask around. I've found her this m po running helping herself to a fair bit of...

    I've attached images of the chick feed. I am in western australia. One of them definitely had sour crop the one before that I am unsure as it was early on in my chicken keeping, it seemed like a respiratory infection though due to the noises he made while breathing. I didn't get a necropsy :(

    I am feeding her about 1/4 cup of the mix I mentioned above twice a day. I am pushing it in to her beak and she proceeds to swallow, sometimes she needs encouragement. Should I increase the intake?

    I used the antibiotic imaged below which was recommended to me, I used 1/8 teaspoon to 250ml of water. We had brought in new birds to which we learned the hard way about quarrentining as we lost 2 birds after that... everyone has since been wormed and showed no signs of illness in the past 2...
