    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    Update: she is starting to stand unsupported but when she tries to walk she loses balance and starts hobbling backwards until she plops down again

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    This is her today, loved the bigger pool vs tub. Recieved my tube for tube feeding this afternoon and did my first one following this video (although for ducks still very helpful) And she did great! Although I did go a little rogue with my formula, a combination of critical care powder from the...

    I appreciate that, I've had many sick chickens but never a sick goose. So my mind is in the "rapidly decline and be dead the next morning" space because that's how chickens can be unfortunately. But she seems very sturdy, and I'm just trying to be patient.

    You'd think in the water, but on land she's struggling to stand and not eating and stressing her momma out 😅

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    I'll give that try, right now she's just kind of dosing in and out of sleep. Just wondering if antibiotics/anti inflammatory meds can make them sleepy? I'm wondering if she's just really tired or it's more than that. I know this has to be stressful but I brought her in from outside because it...

    The last time I saw her eat normally was probably Monday or Tuesday. I mixed up some Brewers yeast and she slurped some of it down, not sure of out eating necessity or mistaking it for water. I made a real rookie mistake, the syringe they gave me for meds said cc/ml on the side, 0.1-1.0 Her...

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    Okay great! I have ordered both the syringe and tube. Should be here tomorrow. The vet didn't mention but if her weight is healthy or not, she's 4 months old and 6.3lbs. I couldn't find any reference online other than that a mature female sebastopol is 10-12lbs. Thoughts?

    We did that as soon as we got home from the vet last night, and I had done that the day previous and she loved it but last night I think she was just exhausted and mostly just floated around. I have a kiddie pool outside I might just fill up to give her more room to swim around

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    We have the inkling she's been eating when we're not watching as her poo has been green/brown and paste. Nothing liquid, it's slowly turning dark brown I fear as it might be rooster booster. I also wanted to add they weighed her yesterday and she is 6 pounds and I have no reference for if that...

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    That is so encouraging to hear, I'm full of nerves thinking I'm going to wake up and find her gone but I'm really just trying to trust the process. Was she eating? I'm not sure if we're just not catching her eating but she won't eat out of our hands or when we watch. I'm just so worried with the...

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    We gave her the first dose last night when we got home and and again this morning. She is still about the same. Took her out with me to let out the chickens and to see her goose friend and set her down in the grass and attempted to assist her in walking and she has control of her legs but they...

    4 Month Old Sebastopol Won't Stand

    Update: We ended up taking her to the vet and they took x-rays and that showed us no heavy metals, and no injuries to the foot/legs. They also did a blood draw (should have results in 2-3 days) and sent us home with Meloxidyl and Trimethoprim.

    So when lying down her keel feels sharp but upright it is not. So in the instance it is gut infection/parasite what are my other options?
