    9 month old hen sick

    Hen update. I have been administering the wormer, Corid and VetRX and she is much better! She has progressed to eating her normal food but still likes and begs for bread. We use the bread pieces to soak up the worming meds. She's eating blueberries and apples to keep her digestive system working...

    The Safeguard is for goats, correct? I'm about to go get some but don't want to buy the wrong thing. It is so difficult to find any of this on the shelf at stores. Tractor Supply also removed all Wazine from their shelves.

    Question! Do I need both wormers and use them at the same time?

    Thanks so much for your help. Her abdomen doesn't look or feel swollen and the crop has been empty most of the time because she wasn't eating and not drinking much. I just saw with her and wet some bread. She ate about 1 piece and 2 blueberries. I'm taking her to the vet in the AM. Definitely...

    Now that I look closely yes, they are worms. But that wouldn't cause her to breathe with her mouth open right?

    Also, no lice or mites that I can see.

    Her eyes are fine. The one pic looks weird around her eyes but they are okay.

    She still hasn't eaten anything but a bite or 2 here & there. Still drinking water though. All my hens are together so not sure when she last laid. I'm going to say she hasn't laid since Tuesday though. Poop was all white again this morning. Last night we allowed her to walk around my back room...

    I can't feel a full crop. She's pooping solid now but still not eating. I put 2 blueberries in there and still nothing. Not even a meal worm. If it isn't coccidiosis would't her poop still be white & runny?

    Also, yes, I can get water into her mouth with a syringe. She pecked at her food earlier but not sure if she ate anything.

    I just watched a youtube video on it. I'll check it in a bit and let you know what it feels like.

    I gave her the 2 drops of the medicine directly in her mouth about 3 hours ago. After about an hour she woke up, got up, drank, pecked at the food (couldn't tell if she actually ate) and laid back down. I'm about to go give her more water by syringe. Her poop was runny white earlier today, and...

    No wheezing at all. The only thing she does that may point to it being respiratory is open her mouth several times.

    9 month old hen sick

    Hi, I have a 9 month old hen that has white poop, won't eat or drink (did a little last night), and opens her mouth wide. She's slept most of the day. I've given her meds for coccidiosis and have it in the water for the rest of the flock. She shows no other signs of respiratory illness so I...
