    Flystrike with my oldest girl

    Thank you so much for your help. I have bathed her a few more times and have gotten more maggots, but I can't seem to find where they are coming from. I have been applying Neosporin to her wound. I tried flushing out her vent, but nothing. She only walks a few steps at a time before sitting...

    Dog attacked my duck and she has maggots in the wound!

    ...After having her isolated for a day, we started her on Epson salt baths, which is when we realized we had a problem. She was infested with the maggots from a wound. It was hard to tell how bad the wound was. We just wanted to get the bugs under control. We bathed her twice a day and gently...

    Flystrike with my oldest girl

    When my hen got flystrike, the vet prescribed a medication (the name I forgot) that would kill any maggots that still existed in her body. I would just ask your vet if they can give you pills that you can give to your hen for that purpose. The epsom salt bath will kill any that are on the...

    Flystrike with my oldest girl

    There were still a few maggots in the water when I gave her a bath this afternoon, but I didn't see any on her after that. How do I know if they have gotten into her abdominal cavity? Thank you so much for your help!

    Flystrike with my oldest girl

    ...see the wound well enough to really tell anything, it would be good to see the flap you are talking about. How long since you have seen any maggots? Using an ointment, like plain triple antibiotic ointment, human stuff from any first aid section of the store (no pain killer ingredients) is...

    Flystrike with my oldest girl

    ...and Dawn dish soap. Treated her topically with Ivermectin. I've been spraying her skin with Vetericyn. And I think we finally got all of the maggots gone. Yesterday she could barely keep her head up, but today she is more perky and even jumped out of the plastic bin bath. Still weak though...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I wonder if a hydrogen peroxide drench would work? I know it works on root maggots. My brother once told me that bleach will kill nematodes.

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    ...decomposing. Which made it all the more creepy when it started to move. I picked up the tote and tipped it slightly to find a mass of maggots underneath the mouse corpse -- hideous, but better than a zombie rodent, I guess. Yesterday was Day 3 of deworming, but a live, writhing roundworm...

    Flystike

    Oh, so she just has a bare spot that is irritated. I'd try ointments as suggested and see if that helps. Do you see any lice or mites on her? Amazing that she's 13 and still laying. You've been taking good care of her and she sounds like a total sweetheart. Do you have a photo of her...

    Flystike

    Yes, I got all the maggots off last year, but this year there were know maggots thank god. It just looks so sore, I feel bad for her. I'm hearing now that bluekote burns so I'm not putting that on her. Like I said, I've been using vetericyn for about four days now and it still looks sore and...

    Chickens addicted to cat food! Will a cat door keep them out?

    ...farming. Pellets for hens and crumble for chicks. Besides this feed, they free range a > couple of hours a day on average (insects, seeds, maggots, herbs, fresh grass, fruit). Get some oyster flakes, grit, mixed grains/seeds, kitchen left-overs and a few mealworms. I don’t eat meat myself...

    Flystike

    You were able to get all the maggots off? Has the wound closed up, I don't see a wound. Redness of the skin can be irritation from poop. You can apply some NuStock cream to the skin to help with irritation and to help it heal. Here's more information and tips on treating Fly Strike...

    Hen not walking help please

    So 1.25 ml once a day directly to her mouth not mixed in water? There is all kinds of different dosages on google… so confusing.

    Hen not walking help please

    there is also some chicken dewormer on amazon. Should i still order the goat? It has probably been 2 weeks since she has laid. (All 5 girls have slowed down since some are molting)

    Hen not walking help please

    ...disorder that is making it difficult to walk. I would trim off any poop under her vent and wash her off. Flystrike where flies lay maggot larvae on skin around droppings or wounds, can be deadly in hot weather. Consider worming her with SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 1.25 ml orally for 5...

    is this poop okay?? liquid poop

    I would get an antibiotic like Amoxicillin as suggested by @Eggcessive I agree, since she had a membrane stuck and you saw some blood, likely this is reproductive. Could be she's having a hard time expelling more membrane or lash material. The blood is concerning, it's hard to discern if...

    ...to eat, it would really help to offset the poor diet they're getting. You could also put out some of the meat to attract flies and offer the maggots to the chickens. Catch moths and grasshoppers, try your hand at raising crickets or roaches. Anything you can do to get animal proteins into...

    ...tail and yellow green runny droppings. I would try to get her eating and drinking. Consider worming her. Look at her vent area for any maggot, and keep it clean. She might respond to antibiotic such as amoxicillin. Here is where to find it, and dosage is 250 mg orally twice a day for 7-10...

    is this poop okay?? liquid poop

    I will continue to clean her and monitor the flystrike issue. Is there anything I can do for her if she does have a reproductive disorder? She also hasn’t laid since the soft shell egg a few days ago. She isn’t showing any signs of being egg bound.
