We soaked it in an epsom salt bath, sprayed vetericyn and colloidal silver on it, and wrap it with gauze and flexible bandage. She has another small one on the other foot that we did the same with.
Ok, she’s feeling a whole lot better but now I noticed she was picking at her foot and this is on the bottom. Is this the beginning of bumblefoot? How do I handle this?
Things are looking better so far this morning! They’re all out pecking/wandering the yard. The one I was worried about last night was even chasing another chicken that found a garden snake. Crossing my fingers! Thank you all again for helping me with the medications!
The girl that had the...
Thank you so much.
You all have been so helpful and have given wonderful advice. I feel like they have a chance…and I would be a complete mess without the help that has been given.
It does make sense.
Thank you. ❤️
I’m really hoping she feels better tomorrow. I know things happen, but not knowing what it is for sure and things going downhill so quickly has me baffled. I was able to save 3 of them when they were little from various things, so I feel like I failed them...
I’m giving them Corid, safeguard dewormer, and miconazole.
The two that passed away had very squishy crops. I have one more that is worrying me. Her crop is still squishy, but not as big as the other two had been. She lays down most of the day, but tries to be out with the others when I let...
We just lost the second one. She’s was in the nesting boxes and we went to give her medicine. Liquid starting pouring out of her mouth. When we put her down, she flopped to one and starting flopping around and died. The medicine we just gave her came out of her eyes. Did I drown this one too, or...
I think they may have fowl pox as well. At first I couldn’t tell if it was peck wounds or not…but there are more scabs on more of the chickens now. They don’t have anything inside their beaks, just the scabs on their combs/wattles/and ears. Mosquitoes have been bad lately. They started showing...
We went ahead and gave them miconazole cream earlier this morning, started on Corid in their water, and gave everyone the de-wormer by mouth (as best we could).
My hen that’s feeling the worst seems a tiny bit better after the miconazole cream, but only marginally. She did poop out two small...
Thank you for your help. The stools seem to look better in color today, thankfully.
My three others still aren’t feeling well. Their crops are still squishy and they’re still lethargic today. They’re standing and closing eyes. Often times shaking their head. One seems worse off than the others...
How do I rule out Coccidiosis? The red in the stool is worrying me that it’ll spread to the others if I don’t treat it and they have it. Just seems like a lot of red, and treats were last given on Thursday. Would it still show in the stool?
Our girl that was the worst off just died. The other three aren’t feeling great, but weren’t as bad as her…so I’m hoping tomorrow will be better for them.
I’ve been so careful with everything we’ve done for them, and this was the one time I “splurged” and I regret it so much.
I have grit...
I’ve become more confused as the day has gone on. One of my girls is doing very poorly. She is the one that looks like she’s on her way out. We’re having to offer her water with electrolytes/probiotics, because she won’t go to the water anymore. She didn’t want to eat the egg. I gave her very...
I feel like I’m going to lose one. She’s breathing from her mouth/panting. She’s laying flatter to the ground. I think I may have made it worse when I had first tried to massage it this morning and the water came out of her mouth. We haven’t lost a chicken yet, and I feel so guilty if we lose...
The hen that has the fullest is staying separate from the others and is breathing through her mouth. She seems to have a bit of a smell to her breath. Should I start yeast medication, or give it another day first?
Thank you! I just gave them a bit of coconut oil. I’ll feed them as you suggested and keep an eye on them. I’ll update in the morning. Thank you so much for your help! I can tell you how much I appreciate it.
