Kathy, you have helped me in so many ways with your advice on here to others. Wet pox, ruptured air sac and such. I have a duck re I think she has water belly. Reading on here, I see you have drained a chicken...have you ever done a duck? What advice can you give me. I know the outlook for water belly isn't good. I'd like your thoughts and recommendations on this. Thank You for your time, Anita

Sorry...I'm just going through the unanswered threads and trying to cut down on them a little. Sorry it involves tagging you so often.

Hey there is a thread about a chick that isn’t doing so good. Please respond I feel bad for the person it’s happening to and you seem to be pretty knowledgeable!

I'm rehabbing a peahen (age unknown) and wanted to get your opinion on feed. I have been feeding her chick starter & layer pellets mixed, & berries, greens, cat food, and catching her bugs. I wanted to know your opinion on buying the expensive game fowl food vs.what I am doing. I am trying to do what is best for the birds but also trying to save money and not have rabbit, cat, chicken, and game feed lying around.

Hello I have a sick peahen. 2 days ago I noticed her wings were droopy I didn't think anything of it, it was a hot day. This morning I noticed she was sitting on the floor lethargic. She is still droopy wouldn't eat but will drink water so I added probiotics. Can I give her corrid/safeguard together to knock out the possibility of worms and cocci? Should I treat for blackhead since shes chickens?

Ok so my 8 week old rooster started doing this yawning thing today. I googled it and says it might be gapeworm. I looked up treatment but I couldn’t really get a consistent answer. Now he just started doing this today and it isn’t constant. Read it could also be a realities thing but he doesn’t have a runny nose or swollen eyes. Any help you could lend me would be much appreciated.

Kathy, I am hoping you can assist me. I have a silkie pullet that has bad eye infection. She has been on eye ointment but not really clearing up, maybe a little, she has been on it long enough that I should have seen some improvement. Reading that she needs to be on antibotics baytril. I have the 10% oral batril and not sure of the dosage and if it needs to be mixed in water or if she should receive it unmixed.

I understand that you may be able to help me with a rooster that we have? He has a lump on the side of his face, the Whole side. We have lanced it, penicillin, Tylan, confinement, etc...to no avail. He only came to us with 1 eye and I don't want to have him lose the other due to our ignorance. Can you help us, please? I do not have a local vet who treats chickens.
