    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    Thank you so much. You're right, I need to remind myself that I did the best I can. Hopefully it gets easier to tell myself that with time.

    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    I had to put Boba down yesterday. She was just getting worse and worse despite all the meds and was starting to have trouble holding her head up sometimes. I knew it'd be hard to lose her but this is so much worse than I thought it would be. I really miss her, she was so special. I just wish...

    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    Really tough to hear but I really appreciate your input. Is there anything that can be done to help her with inflammation? Because yes, it seems like her crop is moving, but very veeery slowly. She hadn't been eating over the past couple of days, and then today her crop finally seemed to be a...

    Flystrike too bad to save? (Graphic)

    Hi everyone, I'm Boba's other "parent" and just wanted to thank you all for the feedback. Boba received a shot of penicillin at the vet and then I continued to apply a topical antibiotic/anti-inflammatory they gave me. I gave her an additional bath the day after the vet to remove the remaining...

    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    Here's a picture of how her wound is currently doing. I have no idea how to gauge it myself, but the vet didn't say it looked bad. It's not red and it doesn't smell or anything. I'm also going to attach pictures of her two variety of poops right now (one is soaked into a puppy pad and might be...

    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    Okay, I can start giving her miconazole just in case. Her breath doesn't smell at all though. Yes I just took some pictures of her wound, I'll post them in a bit. Thanks for linking that here, I hadn't gotten to read the replies myself yet. Thanks so much, I really hope she makes it through...

    Hen with intestinal blockage - Not sure what's best for her

    Hi, I have a ~5 year old Brahma hen named Boba who I brought inside to treat for flystrike last weekend after noticing her all fluffed up in the yard by herself--I think my boyfriend posted a thread about her when it first happened so maybe someone has heard a little about her situation already...

    Listen to this chicken 🤔 respiratory infection?

    Ok actually the chicken with the weird noise has diarrhea. Also I looked down her throat and didn’t see anything. The other chicken with just the pale comb has normal feces. pictured below is the diarrhea feces.

    Listen to this chicken 🤔 respiratory infection?

    Doesn’t really sound like Gapeworm from the videos on YouTube. I wonder if my other chicken has round or tape worms, though.

    Listen to this chicken 🤔 respiratory infection?

    Hi everyone. She’s been doing this pretty consistently for over a month. This isn’t her normal ‘I gotta lay an egg’ clucking. Only other symptom is a pale comb. She’s very active. There’s one other sick chicken who just has a pale comb and maybe wet feces (trying to catch her in the act) for...
