No large animals... I'm so amazed by how much better he's doing n one day! His foot was so blue looking and so swollen it was shocking! No blue color at all today and the swelling has went down some. Woo... I think we dodged a bullet! I'll be sure to not let him out to free range for a long...
I'm happy to say my boy is doing much better today. He's standing and walking on his own and the bruising color is gone but his ankle still looks a little swollen... Hey I'll take it! Since he wasn't free ranging during time of injury and confined n his pen with his mate I'm thinking maybe he...
My goose Clyde has an extremely swollen and bruised ankle and foot... I have no clue how it happened! I just found him laying down with his bad foot behind him... Because of how he was laying I could see the bottom of his foot which looked good as far as bumble foot goes. He couldn't stand on...
Thanks bunches Eggcessive! I have the liquid Corid... My chicken first aid kit already had it in there... Yippie! Lol... For Sparkles I did have to go get the Preperstion H from the store being I never dealt with prolapse I didn't have that in there but I will from now on! I was so terrified...
Eggcessive must be busy so I'll go with my gut feeling in treat my flock with Corid as if its a severe case of cocci... I got side tracked yesterday when I went into the coop I discovered "Sparkles" had a prolapsed vent! Sigh... I quickly sprang into action and got her all fixed up. I'm happy to...

Eggcessive I also replied to it response above... Quick question tho... I was just about to make up a batch of Corid for my flock then I realized I'm not sure if I should treat them for "preventative" "moderate" or "severe" I know the dosage for all 3 just not sure which one to go with... TIA
I was suspect of cocci as well thinking how blood isn't always present in the poop. I do have Corid n my first aid kit so I'll go ahead n get them started on that today. I also have Wazine on hand but its only for round worms and I wanted to use a more broad spectrum wormer. Thanks for ur...
Sadly I have lost 1 Buff Plymouth Rock and 1 Silkie Roo in one week! Just found them laying on the floor of the coop dead with no signs of injury or illness about a week apart. We have an "open coop" concept being it's a structure with chicken wire walls. We live in Florida... Recently we've had...
Nevermind on dosage chicknmania... I googled Batril and its a prescription medicine. I'll just finish the Tylon course then get him started on vitamins... And pray!
purplesquirrel yes very true! When I know I've did everything n my power to cure an ailing chicken it helps my heart tremendously! This past October I had to have Cheech's (my current sick chicken) brother Lil Twist put down by my vet. He had scissor beak and I loved him just the same. Although...
chicknmania I googled ILT yesterday after reading about it and I ever ran across a video on utube of a chicken with ILT I can safely rule that out as a cause... What ever it is its getting worse not better. He shakes his head constantly, breathing raspy, crusty eyes he makes a congested like...
That's what I'm thinking... Don't get me wrong he is way better then he was Considering how he was but with only 3 days left on Tylon and he's still breathing crappy I def getting worried knowing that I will have to put him down if he doesn't get well enough to join the flock. It's better losing...
