    Mystery illness, few symptoms

    Against the odds, she survived, is almost 100% now and is back with the flock! Sadly she now hates me because I force fed her for so long. 😄

    Mystery illness, few symptoms

    She's back to eating and drinking normally, but neuro symptoms remain. She's just not right in the head, sometimes walking in circles. The mouth gape is only occasional now. I've been letting her out with the others (supervised) and several keep trying to attack her. I'm going to give her...

    Gapeworm symptoms still around despite treatment

    No confirmation, just treated as if. Yes to green droppings when she stopped eating and I had to syringe food and give subq fluids. Normal poop now. No discharge from anything ever, no mites, no fluffed feathers, no respiratory issues, clean vent, no diarrhea. Crop seems to be functioning...

    Gapeworm symptoms still around despite treatment

    Why no vegetables? So you think she has a nutritional deficiency? Could that cause the stretched neck/open mouth?

    Gapeworm symptoms still around despite treatment

    Layer pellets, couple of chunks of tomatoes and cucumbers every day, melon chunks and safflower seeds occasionally.

    Gapeworm symptoms still around despite treatment

    One thing I noticed yesterday was that her tail was off to one side. That was a new symptom. Today it looks normal.

She's back from the brink of death and can eat/drink now on her own, takes dust baths and preens. Eats pellets and vegetables. But she's not 100%, sometimes acts like she...

    Hen is still alive, thx to syringe feeding and sub q fluids. But no changes at all otherwise. She's not better or worse. I'm so confused....

    Small amount of green poop just now. My research showed a huge variety of causes so not helpful. 😔

    Mystery illness, few symptoms

    I'll have to dig through my supplies. But why no symptoms if it's an infection? My rehabber friend thought maybe she has a virus of some kind. I wish I could get more calories into her!

    Mystery illness, few symptoms

    My 4.5mo hen stopped eating 4 days ago but has no typical symptoms of illness other than that. She has been keeping her beak slightly open but no noticeable respiratory problems. Feathers, crop, breathing, vent all nomal. No noticeable injuries. She's still drinking on her own a little but I've...

    Hi. I don't show ducks, but these came from a woman who breeds and shows runners.

    Swans needed for Canadian geese control.

    I've done goose control professionally for 20 years and swans don't deter geese. They can also be aggressive and dangerous to humans. Check with your state natural resources department for management options. Or just do a search online, there's a ton of information out there. Be advised, the...
