An update, the vet was closed Thursday and Friday due to Thanksgiving. He didn’t improve so I took him back to the vet Saturday and the vet is still saying his crop doesn’t feel impacted. That’s it’s probably just swollen due to having crop worms.
I was giving him water and he would drink it...
I’ve tried to catch him doing it but it’s sporadically. When we got home from the vet I put some banana in front of him to see if he was hungry because he hadn’t eaten and he did it again.
I’ll try to catch it on camera though. I hate seeing it. It freaks me out. I’m so sad for him 😭
Hello,
I have a silkie chick that is 12 weeks old. He was fine yesterday and then today seems in pain and lethargic
I took him to the vet and he just said he’s weak and has crop worms. The only thing, is that he will be laying down fine and the. The next min will start squealing really loudly...
Thank you for the picture! This baby is exposed all that is showing in this picture but the membrane is also open. It’s the rest of the membrane that is further inside the shell that has come away from the shell that I am trying to get the chicken away from but still has the veins so I can’t...
The egg is under mama. I was originally only letting her hatch 1 egg but she ended up with a few more and when I canceled them they were fertilized so I let her keep sitting on them. It was farther after the first 2 eggs.
I made the whole and went back a few hours later and it was cheeping...
I have an egg that the chick is cheeping inside but it hasn’t pipped yet.
When do I help it?
I have had an egg before where I could hear the chick cheeping in the egg but it never hatched. I think it couldn’t get out and it suffocated. I don’t want to make that mistake again. The chick is...
I keep coming back here hoping someone has some advice because I feel like I’m getting nowhere.
So it’s day 6 of the Baytril. Blanche still is just laying around and is starting to lose weight again because she isn’t eating.. I have to syringe her her water and now I’m going to have to syringe...
Just an update..
I’ve dosed aqua sol for a week with no improvements and then I started seeing blood in her poops so I dosed Corrid for a week. She still wasnt standing, only crawling. But it feels like she gained a tiny bit back. So maybe the parasites are gone and she’s able to absorb her...
Thank you! Ive been trying to give her liquids today but she has some fight left in her and I can’t securely hold her, get/keep her mouth open, and get the syringe in her mouth. I’ll have to wait until I have help later. She is still eating scrambled/liquidy eggs and some cucumber and I think I...
The only thing I can get her to eat is scrambled eggs twice a day. And that was actually a struggle tonight... I’m not even sure she is drinking the water, which has the Corrid in it. I’m going have to syringe some water to her, which I’m scared to do because I don’t want it to go in her wind...
