Today she is subdued a bit. Flushing alot. I did feed her some sprouted grain bread in water and an egg yoke. Gave her antibiotics. Later i may try some homemade grits and rice. Something to firm it things up. Some more vitamins.
She is drinking A LOT of water. I am alternating plain...
Everything still there this morning, but she did poo a bit and it was very dark and sludgy showing that the antibiotic is being absorbed. Her bowels are moving, just the crud in her crop wont.
SO this has been an issue since Friday. I made up an Epsom salt flush. This has worked before for...
Oh she fights me, but her comb is very droopy so i am thinking dehydration. I have her the ACS an hour ago, let her sit to watch her, put her in her cage(shes inside) and burped her crop.
I have some Rooster Booster Poultry Cell i am going to use in the morning to give her a boost of nutrients.
None of this had any effect.
I have resorted to Acidified Copper Sulfate. There is a post in BYC about this. Another person had the same problem with nothing at all working.
Butters comb is drooping and getting pale. She does drink but i think nothing is passing from her crop, she is pooing a...
I am playing it by ear too.
This watermelon was really sweet. I thought I had things I check. I gave her some and her crop puffed up. I assumed the sugar in the Mellon might have caused it. I was trying to hydrated too.
Did it cause it? Just a guess for my situation.
I read today that the...
After long time antibiotics my hen has bad doughy/ sour crop. I have used all the remides. I finally got prescriptions for Fluconazole and Nystatin.
Floconazole is 10mg/ ml. Suspension reconstituted to 35ml.
Give .8ml Once a day for 7 days.
When I gave it to her I massaged her squishy crop...
I went today to ask in person for the script I been waiting on since Friday.
Girl up front said the Avian vet is still on vacation.
When I set up the appointment I asked for one. They said she was one.
She has multiple problems but has been so sweet. I left her at the Vets and she's come back bleeding, black thigh and an injury which makes her snap her head back when I hold or pet her. It's taken alot out of her. I am distressed as well
I didn't take any anything you posted as mean or...
Yes there is and swelling on the roof of her mouth. Pressure inside. I think it's the source of the Staph. Notice in her beak too, it's discolored as well. I will need to wait 2 days before the next dose as she has had 2 in 48 hours. I may break the next dose into 3 given during the day to...
I know, I gave held as they died.
She is eating some, drinking, pooping, crop was clearing until this morning and it's doughy again, but I gave her the antibiotic orally last night. She's 5 pounds. Still alert, just acting ill since the antibiotic.
The antibiotic is LA200 and, thanks to...
They are closed for the weekend.
I left a message Friday.
Her wing is hurt too. She used to snuggle, now she whips her head to her wing when I hold her.
I have to take her to the same Vet.
And we may leave for home monday.
Her comb is turning pale too
I think this might be the source for Staph...
The very post I have been studying.
Butters has a long term antibiotic resistant Staph infection. Blood sent off by home Vet and cultured came back Pos. No Avian Vets at home so brought her with us here to a "true" Avian Vet for special look over.
Home Vet had her on Baytril for a looong...
I gave it to her orally last night. She was so tired and hurt I couldn't inject. She takes oral liquid meds well.
This morning crop not empty and it's doughy.
It had, after alot of work, been emptying.
I can't seem to win.
Her right wing is hurt too after doc visit. It's not droopy but...
The Vet gave my hen her first shot of LA-200. She gave it in the thigh and not the breast. Said to give 1.5ml daily for next 2 days.
When we got home she was bloody! I had to apply pressure.
Today if I touch it she whips her head to it.
Her thigh is deep black.
Is she in danger?
