    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    My silkie is still the same. She won't move or eat or drink. I have brought her to the vet and the blood test shows an infection. The fecal test came back saying it is NOT coccidia. She has been on 4 days of twice daily antibiotic with Sulfur which should have taken care of cocci and some...

    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    Thanks everyone for all your help! Such a relief to get some feedback! The silkie is still the same. She's on Day two now on the cocci meds and is pooping -- but mostly clear liquid with a bunch of green and some mustard colored stuff. It is truly bizarre but I can place her anywhere and...

    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    Here's updated pictures on Day 6 -- she's still the same. She did finally poop yesterday -- no bloody stool or diarrhea really, so I don't want to treat a whole flock for Cocci if I don't have to. Any other ideas? If left to her own devices she just sits there. She swallows some (leftover...

    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    I went to TSC but they only had Chorid 20mg for bovines. That didn't sound right. She is preening herself, but won't eat or move still. so strange. I put her under a heat lamp for now.

    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    Day Five and still no voluntary movement or eating or drinking. She fights being fed anything but will swallow tiny amounts of the gatorade/antibiotic if dropped on her beak. When she swallows sometimes her stomach gurgles -- like it's empty/churning. I brought her out to the others and she...

    Day 4 of no eating or drinking

    She looks fine. No injury I can tell. No sour smell, or crop bulge. Her eyes are alert, and when I fed her the eggs she fought hard against it. I did also offer her mashed up feed, lettuce pieces, tomato pieces, yogurt, cheese and oatmeal. So far nothing gets her to eat. Water, warm gatorade...
