    Pullet wasting away, worms or something else?

    The vet did a fecal float and did not find coccidiosis or worms. She wasn’t very specific about what she thought it might be beyond something digestive. I did break up the “lash egg”, to me it looks like pus and orange mush. I’m wondering if I should get some other antibiotic on my own. I...
