IB sounds really like being the cause here. Everything fits in to the symtoms, having read more about it. Questions is; Is there a cure? They all sneeze/cough now and then and have done so since one year ago. I lost 2 last summer, they lost weight and got secondary infections. Now one is on...

O Thank you for your answer. They sometimes sneeze/cough but nothing else to be seen. No respitory problems and the others gain weight. The fact that she has no down on her belly, is that a symtom? Can hens have fever? She is mich better on Metacam but will it help all the way? If this is due...

My silkie started looking thinner and laying either misshaped, softshelled or just thin eggs. The shell is always rough like sandpaper. Also they are more watery and have like small bubbles inside instead of airsack. (Maybe because the shell is thin?) She is also very bare on all her underside...

Update: Talked to the vet and decided to change for Flagyl instead. Also she has lost so much weight, not eating, so I started to force her boiled egg. And she got a little better and even sent out with her friends, interesting in trying little Apple and even a worm! However now it’s been 3 days...

I’m not sure it’s waterbelly. She had no visable swollen belly. Its only what the vet saw on the x-ray

I have never heard of waterbelly. Do you happen to have more information?

She has now been on Bactrim for a week and not much difference. No eating at all which I believe a bad sign. Luckily drinking anyway. The wet x-rayed het and saw a mass of liquid in her abdomen which she confirmed was from Inflammation in the ovarys. She also got Metacam for 3 days. Since start...

She has stopped trying to lay any egg. I have Metacam at home and i will give her this. She is not walking ”like a pinguin” just being apathic. What more would a vet be able to do? I did bathe and massage her already. She is not pushing.

One of my silkies, stayed unnormally long time in the nest, trying to lay her egg, but nothing happened. She has now stopt trying and seems to have pain, being for herself and not coming for food. I baded her in warm water, massaged down her vent with oil and also felt little inside (nothing). I...

I try to find a picture of the Gizzard worm. The vet had never heard of that kind, maybe not found in Sweden. My poor Flinga can’t keep any food. And she wants to eat and fights so hard. No infection the vet told, but she wouldnt believe worms.

Thank you, I will look this up. She got better and ate normally for 2 days but now her crop fills up with fluid again. Appointment at the vet today.

Today she’s a lot better and tries to pick from the ground. But still not really well. She ate a little boiled egg + corn- porridge which was appriciated! After that she got tired and takes naps, doing short shakes with her head like something still is bothering her crop. I felt her crop but...

Little Flinga didn’t come out yesterday morning and when i lift her out there was instantly liquid coming from her beak. I took her to the waterbowl but she wouldn’t drink (she normally always drinks in the morning) I tilted her aside and immidiately she vomited. It was sunflower seeds and...

There was a choice between implant or injection. We chose for the injection which has to be repeated after 3-4 months. This food is what they are fed last 3 months. They like it a lot. But also they get pasta, pancake, rice, dried mealworms, sunflower seeds, canned corn and of course all what is...
