    Sick Barred Rock - Lethargic, no appetite (edit: sour crop?)

    Her breath didn't smell sour. She's stressing me out! She won't eat chicken food, but she'll eat tomatoes. She won't eat baby bird food (and I've never had a chicken refuse that). Sunday her crop seemed pretty squishy, like she'd been drinking a lot of water. Monday morning her crop was...

    Sick Barred Rock - Lethargic, no appetite (edit: sour crop?)

    Hi there! The vet did a few x-rays, and said that she wasn't egg bound. She won't eat scrambled egg, or the shell and we do have calcium available. I'm starting to suspect sour crop - as her crop is a bit squishy. I was assuming that she was just drinking lots. Though I've seen her drink...

    Sick Barred Rock - Lethargic, no appetite (edit: sour crop?)

    Also: She is a little more alert than she was on Friday. Then, she kept shutting her eyes and sleeping on my lap, even when we were at the vet.

    Sick Barred Rock - Lethargic, no appetite (edit: sour crop?)

    This is one of my lap chickens from my flock of 10. She is a Barred Plymouth Rock, 1 year and 5 months old. She's always been smaller than our other BRBs, but feels bonier than normal. She started showing signs of lethargy on Monday of last week (today is Sunday). We've been diagnosing a dog...

    chicken laid fingery membrane and yolky slime

    She's in and out of the nest box this morning. So she must feel like she needs to do something. She ate a little of the special breakfast that I made for her: bread cubes, eggs, egg shell, olive oil and strawberries.... and husband said she drank a bunch of water and had a watery Poo. She's...

    chicken laid fingery membrane and yolky slime

    Thanks - I hope it's just a fluke. It didn't help that we came home and checked on her (still in the nest box) and not 5 minutes later had a HUGE thunder boom. Weird monstrosity for sure. We'll check on her in the morning and try bread and olive oil, I'll check on their oyster shell, too...

    chicken laid fingery membrane and yolky slime

    My chicken, a one year old RIR, looked as though she was struggling to lay, we were concerned that she was egg bound (fluffed up, and dropped butt like she was going to poo). She started acting "funny" at 4pm, and went in the nest box around 6pm. We had already tried lubricant and checking her...

    Loss of Appetite + bloody poo + empty crop

    I think that she maybe had a case of worms, but her respiratory infection also lead to an ear infection. It was after we started giving her antibiotic ear drops that she really turned around! She has gained a lot of weight since then and is back outside with the rest of the flock! The Panacur...

    Loss of Appetite + bloody poo + empty crop

    Just an update: The veterinarian had me worm Little Ginger with Panacur the day after her Wazine dose. I think it really kicked whatever she had. She's been doing *great*. She is still on antibiotics and probiotics. I don't think doing the worm treatments so close together is not normally a...

    Wazine-17 - Single Dose

    Thanks, dawg... Is there a need to repeat the paste daily? I see in many threads that the water treatment is for 2-3 days... Should I paste-treat them for 2-3 days? Or just once? Again, thank you for your help.

    Loss of Appetite + bloody poo + empty crop

    Thank You! I learned online that the poo wasn't bloody, it was coral colored eurates - as seen on http://chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0 So there wasn't blood. Which is good. I feel really naive about that now. We went to the veterinarian on Tuesday, because Little Ginger as...

    Wazine-17 - Single Dose

    Thanks for the information! Husband isn't too keen on helping with the Q-tip swab at this time. The gaping seemed like it was only for a little bit yesterday. Freaked me out, still. She opened her mouth wide, several times, while I had her out of her crate. But, I haven't seen it since...

    Wazine-17 - Single Dose

    Thanks guys! I noticed some "gaping" today - and I'm contemplating safeguard or some sort of ivermectin (which are all so confusing) soon. Will the Safeguard take care of gape worms? How long do I have to wait after the wazine? I'm just a tad panicked about this little girl. She's a...
