I have the same issue. Mine has infections, so I'm taking her to be spayed. I'll be going to UC Davis in California since I'm about 1.5 hours from it. Look for a teaching university in your area and see if they have a vet clinic on the grounds. Ive heard the implants are good but expensive to...
Hello,
I was given a serama hen because she wasn't wanted. She's now a valuable member of the household!!! She's been laying soft eggs so I took her in to the vet. Come to find out She's got infections. I'm taking her to UC Davis for a consultation for a spay. Anyone know the cost and risks? I...
In that case, I'd get crickets from the pet store and roll them around in the vitamin e and selenium. Use a zip lock baggie so you can roll them around. Best of luck!!
I had a chick with wry neck. This is what I did and it worked after about 5 months of steady feeding. I got vitamin e tablets and selenium. I used scrambled eggs because she loved them. I opened the vitamin e and poured it over the eggs and a drop or two of selenium at each feeding. Most times...
Hello,
Need to worm the flock. This is the first time using oral albendazole. I can't find much information for bantam sizes. I see 5ml per kg and I'm in the ounces range. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I came across your post late. How is your girl? She could have been harboring an infection from the lash egg. This can cause a staph infection and cause death. She should be seen by a vet. But the first thing to try would be Corrid for a different infection called coccidiosis. A lot of...
Hello, I recieved the final report dor my girl. She had leukemia. From what I can understand, it had invaded her entire system. She had always been a calm girl. So I didn't notice her becoming more calm. But I look back and I can now see she had been sick for a while. So the illness was not...
Hello and thank you. We loved her. She was a unique character. I still miss her. I did send her to do a necropsy at UC Davis. So far preliminary report is nothing to be seen.
Hello!!!
She actually spent a good amount of time outside in the front garden area. She was like a dog, in and out. She sunned on the deck, dust bathed in her corner and shredded my plants to her hearts content. I loved her. I took her to Davis to have a necropsy done. I have a preliminary...
Her diet is regular all feed. She's also supplemented with red lettuce, fruit, applesauce, eggs, salmon. I've never wormed her. Her vet called back and she's clear of worms and or parasites so we're now waiting on the giardia test to come back. All her symptoms tell me coccidiosis but she's not...
I just got a call from the vet and she's clear of parasites but we're still waiting for the giardia results. She's never been wormed since she's been house raised and lives inside with me. I have checked for mites and I see nothing. I check my outside girls as well and have only seen it on one...
I have a 4 year old old english hen. She was hand raised and has the love of all of us. However she is ill. At first I thought coccidiosis. She has all the symptoms, but the bloody stool. The Corid isn't working but she's still on it. She has a gray comb and wattles. No sneezing, no wheezing...
