    Raccoon attack won’t eat or drink

    Thanks! Will get to the store for some banana. She seems more alert every day. Pecks faster at the mealworms than she used to. I was feeling so hopeful when she ate the egg. First few days she would wear out easily, seemingly pass out before I could finish the 5ml of fluid. I know you can force...

    Raccoon attack won’t eat or drink

    9 days ago Chased off a family of raccoons. Momma chomped on my Brahma’s head, she has some superficial bites and I believe her eye burst. Poor Marshmallow. ;( She was in shock for a couple days and I was giving her about 20ml fluid daily via syringe. She started pecking at meal worms and dry...

    Raccoon attack won’t eat or drink

    Any ideas what to give her to eat other than mealworms? I changed the water form vitamins to plain hoping she would drink that but does not seem to have helped.

    Autopsy help- what is this rubbery bit? Safe to eat hen?

    First time I’ve put down a laying hen. She did have a chronic sneeze and some diarrhea and just looked a bit off. I was going to put her down soon anyway but a dog attacked her. 😢 when processing her I found this weird thing inside? It’s rubbery- almost like an over hard scrambled egg? Any...

    Distended abdomen, floppy comb, vent gleet

    She’s been dead for a couple days now....maggots have already set in. Not sure if necropsy would be worth the $$$ with the decomposition that’s already started... unfortunately. I do appreciate the recommendation. After researching a bit more it seems like it may be EYP?

    Distended abdomen, floppy comb, vent gleet

    Hello, one of my 8 year old birds died this morning. I had treated my 2 old birds for vent gleet by cleaning their bums and giving probiotics and vitamins in their water. They still has some dirty feathers I was planning on cleaning again. I got Isabel cleaned up again today and applied...

    What suture type for Crop Surgery?

    Thanks! I am giving her Amoxacillin caps I bought at the feed store. I messaged an online avian vet and she advised me on dosing: 500mg dissolved in 3/4 tsp water. Give 0.2ml per pound. The injectable stuff is powerful, but feeling lucky I have at least this option, and she is eating well.

    What suture type for Crop Surgery?

    Thanks! I did the surgery on Tuesday afternoon. I had ordered a practice kit of suture from Amazon because it had catgut, but then I read somewhere that they don’t use that anymore because it can be contaminated with mad cow disease. (Because I guess it’s actually cow intestine) while chickens...

    What suture type for Crop Surgery?

    I’m getting ready to do an impacted crop surgery if I can’t get the mass to break down. I ordered training suture from Amazon and while Sterile, the package says for non clinical use. I got this set because it had absorbable catgut. I read though that catgut can transmit Mad Cow’s disease. So...

    Sour Crop Can’t throw up

    So I chatted with a vet online. They suggested: For Sour Crop: Monistat 7 day creme diluted half with water, give 1 ml twice daily. For Impacted Crop: Mix Metamucil to the consistency of pulpy orange juice. Mix 3/4 tsp of that with one crushed tab of Papaya enzyme. Give 3ml twice daily. I’m...

    Sour Crop Can’t throw up

    i have on a dog or cat. Between the shoulder blades. Is it the same for a chicken? How much to give? Though I don’t have a needle. I have an oral syringe but that seems so tedious, and not sure how much good it will do. I put some blended garlic in her water but she doesn’t seem to like the...

    Sour Crop Can’t throw up

    I noticed a couple birds this morning had a little bit of residual food in their crops this morning, so I’m thinking maybe an impaction issue? I do have long grass they’ve been working on. Was going to mow and take but it’s raining for the next week. >_< another pic of her last night, you can...

    Sour Crop Can’t throw up

    poop looks normal. Maybe a little on the dry side. Probably pooped... 10 times in the last 12 hours? So that part is encouraging. I was successful getting her to regurgitate some by holding her mouth open, while holding her upside down and massaging. But was giving her frequent breaks to...

    Sour Crop Can’t throw up

    Help! My 12 week old Dominant Marans has sour and pendulous crop. I first noticed something may be off with her when I held her upside down by the feet and she stated vomiting. I didn’t know why that happened so I quickly turned her right side up because I did not want her to aspirate. Later...

    Baby chicks and a raised coop - Danger?

    We have a coop about 3 feet off the ground with a run underneath. I want to say the coop is 3x4 and the run is 4x6. We have 2 chickens, both sweet hens. Tito, a Cuckoo Marans has gone broody just a month after starting to lay again. In that past, she has been a tough nut to crack, 1-2 months...
