    Antibiotic recommended? After Fox attack-swollen eye

    I put several pellets of arnica in a gallon of water to aid in healing, not as an antibiotic. The garlic may help there, but she wasn't interested in the food when I mixed the garlic with her yogurt and oatmeal. The worms I gave her are from an indoor compost bin and no, I'm not worried about...

    Antibiotic recommended? After Fox attack-swollen eye

    Thank you for the info on antibiotics and which are best for wounds. As far as I know this is her only injury. She ate and drank some today so I think she's going to be okay. She is a huge ten pound hen which I think is working for her. Also the reason why the fox didn't just scoop her up and...

    Antibiotic recommended? After Fox attack-swollen eye

    I'll put a compress on her eye again today. There's quite a bit of discharge. Plus I'll dab on some neopsporin and keep her separated from the other hens.

    Antibiotic recommended? After Fox attack-swollen eye

    Well I picked up what they had which is powder tetracycline. I don't dare use it as it doesn't seem appropriate for an eye infection...now that I see this latest post.

    Thank you. Her eye is much worse looking today. I'll get some antibiotic and put a compress on it a bit this morning.

    Antibiotic recommended? After Fox attack-swollen eye

    My 2 year old barred rock was dragged off by a fox last Saturday. I ran out and got her before the fox had killed her and other than feather loss she seemed fine, but 3 days later she's very tired and heroine eye is swollen shut. Should I start her on antibiotics? What kind?

    Well, I did the wazine wormer yesterday and gave them a garlic concoction four days besides. Today all of the poop I've seen looks firm and normal!!!maybe it was just the stress of the move. I will follow up with the valbezan in two weeks. Thanks to everyone for their excellent input and links...

    They are drinking more water than I've ever seen hens drink. Supposedly, they are 1 1/2 yrs. old. Saturday and Sunday it was dark brown but equally watery.

    Thanks again for all of the suggestions. This morning we had 'first poop of the day' variations, some looked a little like spilt milk. The only vet who'll test chicken poop wants $30 and won't diagnose without seeing the bird. I'll consider antibiotic and wormer as the next course if after a...

    Thank you for all of the advice and link to poop photos. Maybe itheir poop is normal after seeing the pics.they do drink more than other chickens that I've had. Theirs is dark runny poop, very powerful scent. It smelled less today but that may be the stiff wind was airing out the coop floor...

    Hi, I just bought three two year old SSHs and am surprised at the massisve amount of watery, revoltingly, smelly poop they produce. I've had them three days and thought maybe it was stress or too much fruit where they'd been? they do drink an awful lot of water. Are they known to be especially...
