Thanks for the quick response. The hole is about 6 feet from the run. I don't think it was tunneling because I don't see any other holes. I will be putting out a trap tonight to see if I get anything. I don't want skunk spray all over the place (yuck) lol.
My daughter was waiting for the bus early yesterday morning and heard what to her sounding like a large animal digging near the chicken pen. As I investigated I couldn't find anything or hear anything. Today she showed me where the noise was coming from and we found a rather large whole. The...
Sadly not only did the chick die. Another one did too. I guess shipping from Ohio to ct. Was too much on the poor things I hope I don't lose anymore :(
Thanks for the advice. It is 90 degrees under the heat lamp I put vegetable oil on her vent as suggested and have dipped her beak in the electrolyte water. She is drinking :)
Hi everyone, I received an order of 6 chicks yesterday all alive one of my chicks turned over on its back by itself. When I helped her over she seemed back to normal. I gave them electrolytes in the water. And are on medicated chick starter feed. Last night before I went to bed I noticed she...
Thank you...it makes me feel great that I was able to get her back to baseline. She had no seizures yesterday or today and is still eating and drinking. I put her back with the others today and will continue to monitor her.
Update: she had no seizures at all today! I started giving her some electrolytes and mash last night she is now eating on her own! I am shocked at her turn around! My plan is to continue with the electrolytes and keep her in the house one more day to keep a close eye on her. If she has no...
thank you I will try this then. I'm glad it's the weekend so I can keep a better eye on her. I will say though she had a better night last night she didn't wake me up having a seizure :) and this morning when I gave her her pill it wasn't as easy, she kept spitting it out :/ she's still not eating
I have 100 mg tabs of niacin I will give her another 100mg dose. My question Is do I add it to her water every time I change it? Some times she knocks it over while having a seizure mid day...I'm not sure if I should crush more up or not. I don't want to overdose her. I'm also going to start...
The shot was b 3 it has niacin in it. I don't think it's botulism either. I started her on niacin 100 mg in her drinking water. Yesterday. I picked up elektrolytes to add also
She is being treated for botulism but doing research it says she should be dead within 24 to 48 hours its been 4 days already. She also thinks it may be Pasteurella. I have not given her any other vitamins or niacin, as I'm not sure of the dosage or how to give it so any help would be...
I noticed this is an old post and was wondering how bella was did she ever get better? I'm going through this now. My vet wants me to put her down. I have a hard time with that.
My 10 week old duck seems to be having seizure like activity. She's been like this for about 3 to 4 days. Doing research I thought that she may have a niacin deficiency I took her to the vet she gave her a shot of vitamin B and gave her a prescription for doxycyclinethinking that it could be...
