    Hen with wobbly gait, clear diarrhea

    Thanks for replying eggcessive. Her crop is empty in the morning. Any thoughts about the clear diarrhea? It's the most extreme I've ever seen in our birds.

    Hen with wobbly gait, clear diarrhea

    Hi Everyone. We've got a mystery with one of our hens. She's been to the vet but I'm hoping someone might have experience / suggestions. Particularly what conditions clear diarrhea may be a symptom of. Shirley is an Azure Egger. She is 2 years old. She has been going through molt and her weight...

    Scary amount of bloody diarrhea! Just left the Avian Vet with Phosphorus and negative stool sample tests for parasites and Cocc. Please HELP!

    No advice, just really feeling for you and your birds. I hope they continue to improve.

    How do you manage treating 5 chickens with bumblefoot?

    I totally understand your overwhelm - we once had 6 birds with BF and my husband literally shouted at the sky when we found the 6th. We used to clean, soak and re-bandage every day, but over time realized that only the severe infections needed an every other day treatment, and for mild cases...

    Who was your best mama this year?

    Love seeing all these sweet mamas and babes! Our best mama, for the second year running, is our rescue, Betty White. Betty came to us as a pullet from a flock that was decimated from a predator, only to then be attacked by a poor introduction to a new flock. She had a broken leg and a head...

    Hen sneezing frequently with vocal changes

    I'm sorry about your hen Chris. A) The "sneezing", head shaking and vocal changes without other obvious symptoms (at least initially) sounds like it could be respiratory Aspergillosis (fungal infection). Usually as it progresses there are other tell-tale signs, like comb darkening (from lack of...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Bad Chicken passed about 2 hours after my last update 💔💔💔. She went quickly, and I'm grateful we had brought her indoors beforehand. @WyropRock, I had wondered about Enteritis, but as it seems to be less common in older birds I had ruled it out. After doing more research, I do consider it a...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    UPDATE (Warning: graphic poo pics) We got the fecal test results, this is what the vet texted us: "No parasites seen (including giardia)- so the protozoal organisms I saw were not seen in a cyst form (which is what is seen on this type of test). I saw active swimming flagellates which could be...

    Can I cut antibiotics course short?

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with water belly with a beloved hen. We've experienced this multiple times and it is so frustrating and sad. I'm assuming she's being given the Synulox as a preventative against infection since draining a bird requires inserting a needle, and possible bacteria...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    (We will also give her some Rooster Booster for the iron to help with the blood loss).

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Thanks - Not an exterior wound (no toenail, pin feather, fly strike etc). She was hemorrhaging blood from her cloaca. Imagine multiple 4" diameter puddles all over the coop floor of mostly blood with diarrhea mixed in. Just got back from the vet. The diagnosis was mostly 🤷🏼‍♀️. But I'll post...

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Thanks Wyrop Rock. Everybody was dewormed 2 months ago. I wonder about cancer as well, but the amount of blood really seemed like an active wound.

    SHOCKING amount of bloody diarrhea - Cocci or internal bleeding or...?

    Good morning Everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. Opened the coop this morning to find our 8 year old Welsummer / Cochin cross off the roost surrounded by extremely bloody diarrhea. Because of the amount of blood I was concerned it was a wound and rushed her indoors to begin...
