    Alert, egg laying hen can't stand up. What could be wrong?

    Hi Jessica. I had an 8 year old Langshan rooster who had similar symptoms. He started with weakness and lying down a lot, but could walk around when he wanted to.

    turkey injury help! big hole in her side :(

    I have had great success with Vetricyn Hydro Gel. It comes in a 4 oz spray bottle and is easy to use. After cleaning the wound, spray the Vetricyn directly on the wound.

    Weak older rooster, neurologic symptoms

    Thank you for your reply. I do no feel any enlarged organs nor any clicking in his heart, just extremely high heart rate. I am still concerned about his neurological condition. This isn't likely Marek's but maybe some kind of toxin ingestion? I'm grasping at straws now, but he was my daughter's...

    Weak older rooster, neurologic symptoms

    I have an 8-9 year old Langshan rooster who has been progressively going downhill. He used to weigh about 9.5 #s but has been losing weight. About 3 weeks ago we discovered he had a lice infestation and gave him Ivermectin orally, bathed him and sprayed him with Frontline (Fipronel) spray (just...
