    Sick Chicken!

    I answered on your other thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sick-chicken.1676265/ Can you answer some of the questions? I would offer her human calcium citrate with vitamin d daily for up to 7 days. Is she showing any signs of molting? I would offer some soft cooked egg and watery...

    Tylan 200…combine oral and IM?

    Both Tylan 50 injectable and Tylan 200 injectable are given orally or by injection. Most of us can no longer get those in feed stores so we order Tylosin powder for the water.

    Tylan 200…combine oral and IM?

    What are the symptoms? Do you see any facial swelling, watery or bubbly eye, sneeze, crackly breathing, mucus from the beak or head shaking? Baytril should have treated MG. I would give either Baytril or Tylan orally. Tylan 200 dosage is 0.1 ml orally 3 times a day for 5 days. I think the...

    Wound care - HELP

    If you have any saline or Vetericyn, chlorhexidene, or weak Betadine, I would dab some on or flush it. Then apply some plain Neosporin or Polysporin generic ointment twice a day. Saline is made with 1/2 tsp of salt in 8 ounces of cup of water. Leave the wound open, keep her away from flies, and...

    Sick Chicken!

    How does her crop feel after not eating all day? Can you check it again in the morning to tell us how it feels? Is she drinking fluids? What do you feed your chickens and do you have granite poultry grit available for them to take as needed? Does she lay eggs, and have you seen any unusual or...

    How to vetwrap a very small chicken's feet with curled toes?

    No, I don’t think that the B complex would correct the curled under toes now. It has to be treated early, or it becomes permanent. It won’t hurt her if you want to still try it.

    My hen is sick- suggestions needed

    Oh okay, that is why I was asking about the amprollium. The dosage is different with other brands in other countries. Go ahead and finish the course of it. Lash egg would indicate that she has salpingitis, inflammation of the oviduct, common in high production hens. That could shorten her life...

    Egg laying issues

    She may have something wrong with her shell gland or could be having a glitch in her oviduct. Can you try giving her a human calcium citrate tablet with vitamin D 300 mg orally for about 7 days, to see if her egg shells become normal? Has she just started to lay after her first molt?

    Droopy tail in hen

    She looks to be standing a little more upright than normal, but that could be the angle of the picture. That could possibly indicate that she has salpingitis and internal laying. Are her urates (the white cap in the dropping) more yellow than white? Does she have any enlargement of her lower...

    Is this bumblefoot almost healed? Anything else I should do?

    Well germs are everywhere in the dirt, grass, bedding and chickens poop everywhere. No, bumblefoot is not contagious. It is caused by the chicken suffering a small cut or scrape from something rough, where any bacteria can get in through the skin. Many chickens may have small bumbles that don’t...

    ? sand in crop/impacted crop

    It can take time to treat a crop impaction if she ate sand. I do hope that she makes it. I’m fond of Mille Fleur d’uccles after raising a few. Let us know how she does. If she will eat some, I would offer some scrambled raw egg and water which may be easier digested. Electrolytes or Gatorade can...

    Aspirated cochin bantam need help with medicine dose

    The amoxicillin is usually 57 mg per pound of weight given 2 times a day for 7-10 days. The tablets have 875 mg per tablet. I might just watch her and continue to provide supportive care since it has been 3 days since the aspiration.

    Is she blind in one eye?

    The left eye is for far sight while the right eye is near sighted. So she may have a hard time seeing food close up, and have to turn her head to see in general.

    Is she blind in one eye?

    It looks like a corneal abrasion or an eye injury. Could you see a vet? At the least I would flush her eye with saline or an eye wash such as Bausch and Lomb Eye Relief Eye Wash, and apply a dot of Terramycin eye ointment to her eye 2-3 times a day. Jedds.com sells Terramycin without a...

    Hen Gaping, Need Advice

    I was concerned the worm could be maggots. Sometimes people mistake string py poo or urates to be worms. So a picture would be helpful. I use my tablet for pictures sometimes. We usually recommend 5 day course of wormer which gets capillary as well as gapeworms. Dosage is 1/4 ml per pound, at...

    How to vetwrap a very small chicken's feet with curled toes?

    How old is she? How long has she had curled under toes? Does she also sit or walk on her hocks? Will her toes flatten when you position them normally? Usually curled toes in chicks are taped flat as in this article...

    ? sand in crop/impacted crop

    How old is she? The dosage of Corid I recommend is 2 tsp of the liquid Corid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5 days. Treat all birds. Look her over for any lice or mites.

    Can you post any pictures of her cut? Is there any sharp area on a waterer or feeder? Are they all the same age?
