    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    She actually made some progress today! She ate more mash than she's eaten all week! Still not a normal amount, but definitely a step in the right direction! She's more alert and starting to make happy chicken noises again and wants to get out of the crate to explore the house, so all good signs...

    No, I didn't know those existed. I first looked it up in my chicken health handbook, then came here to you all, then the vet.

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    I had looked up Marquis, the brand name for ponazuril, and the price at Valley Vet Supply was $895 for a tube of the Marquis. Maybe it's cheaper somewhere else, but that was my first thought since I've bought from them before. I can put a space heater by the crate, I just didn't think it was...

    I am considering it; I just don't know who by me does them and how much it'd cost. Would my local extension office know?

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    Yes, she told me. She's definitely still droopy and looking depressed and barely moving around. She mostly sleeps. I even put on a you tube video of chickens for her yesterday to see if that would pep her up a bit. I would bring in one of her sisters if it would help and I knew for sure they...

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    Hi All, There hasn't been much change today. I saw her drinking a couple times and she's picking at her mash, eggs, waffle, and lettuce (I've literally tried nearly everything, lol), but she's not eating more than a bite and is just spreading it around. She's only pooped 7 times today and they...

    Yeah, I've tried that. Unfortunately she won't take them. The vet showed me how to safely give her the liquid meds, so I'm just doing the same with tiny bits of canned cat food and water.

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    I actually force fed 5cc of canned cat food and 5cc of the corid water after her meds this morning, in the hopes that the little bit of protein would give her enough of a boost to make her want to eat. I only saw her drink once today and she still didn't touch her food. I think when I give her...

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    We did discuss ponazuril and toltrazuril but she didn't want to give them I think because of the dosage with her weight being low. I can't afford the $895 for a tube online either. She thinks she's not eating due to just feeling crappy from the anemia and said if the meds start working, she will...

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    Hi, thanks for checking in! I took her to a vet today. Nothing showed on the fecal, no egg or pieces of egg found, no fever, but she has declined and was weak, pale, and clearly anemic. She only weighed 3.8 lbs. The doctor put her on Panacur in case of parasites (even though no obvious signs)...

    I also should have included that they were all vaccinated for coccidia, but could she have still gotten it? If so, can I treat her with Corid?

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    Ok, so I checked her out again this morning. Her belly does not feel hard or soft. Feels just right. She's not swollen anywhere. Her crop is smaller than it was yesterday, hard and round, and just felt like an empty crop. I cleaned and trimmed the poopy feathers on her butt, but her vent was...

    Hmmm. I'll look into ponazuril. Thanks for the reply.

    Thank you!

    Lethargic chicken, won't eat, diarrhea

    Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I'm concerned for sure. Could it be some kind of infection in her reproductive system? I didn't notice her belly feeling enlarged but am going to examine her again in the morning and will offer her scrambled egg as well. Is NutriDrench the same as Rooster Booster...
