    Nictitating membrane Stuck?

    Our coop is well ventilated and I clean it every other week - so I haven't noticed any ammonia issues

    Nictitating membrane Stuck?

    It is both eyes - i don't see anything. But I'll try flushing them out. I've never euthanized a bird who was still clearly enjoying their life, but I've also never had one with so many health issues as her. I know they don't show pain until it's pretty much too late - so I just hate to think...

    Nictitating membrane Stuck?

    I have this little bantam hen I got about 2 months ago. And she has quite a few issues. She eats and drinks and seems happy but she often gets a "pasty butt", has what I thought was egg bound but must be a tumor (which I think is causing the pasty butt, she "high steps" when she walks (I'm...

    Nictitating membrane is really showing. Is this normal?

    Did you ever find out what was wrong? I have a little bantam hen with this.

    Thank you, he doesn't have any bubbles in his eyes and his nasal discharge is clear. He just does these loud gasp/coughs occasionally - today they seem a little more frequent. I will do some reading on the bronchitis!

    I have had other bird s He is only 2lbs 🫠 but he should likely be around 8+lbs. I had always thought it was twice a day so I can give him an extra dose today and see if that helps at all. But I still plan to take him to the vet in the morning. I have him living in our house so he is separated...

    Respiratory help

    Hi everyone! I found an abandoned rooster last week. He was clearly sick and just a bag of bones. I brought him home and he does eat and drink pretty well on his own. I've been treating with .5cc Tylan 50 orally twice a day, for 4 days now. Very RX on his nose and wings twice a day as well...

    She didn't seem to choke - there was no noises but she started opening and closing her mouth very slightly as if gasping but silently, and then within maybe a minute she was dead. It was very quick and she didn't thrash around much

    I just tried to feed her and she died 😭 I don't know if she aspirated and I killed her or if it was the medications. 😭😭😭

    The vet really doesn't know what's going on with her. He said he agrees with me and does not feel an egg. He gave her a steroid shot and a b12 shot - and Albon to treat in case theirs coccidia but he tried to get some fecal and didn't see anything. But for now he said keep syringe feeding her...

    Unfortunately our avian specalist is out of town. But I'm going to take her to the farm vet - they've seen my birds and helped me quite a bit as well, just isn't my first choice to see her. But the only option right now. I'll keep you updated!
