Forgive the delayed reply, and thank you so much for the advice. I will go down to the shops tomorrow and ask about Amprol. This is the first time I've heard of cocci. I looked it up on google and it sounds horrible. I'm still learning heaps as I wasn't aware of all the nasty things that can go...
My pet chook Chicky is sick. I'm really lost on what to do to help her out. I've done everything i can. She has greenish/clear diarroeah and her tail is pointed downwards. She looks tired most of the time, but will move about here and there and eats grass more than her pellets. She's not egg...
Thanks for the advice. I did treat her wounds and keep her comfortable. She seemed like she got better until recently. I noticed her appetite decline and saw worms in her poop so i took her to the vet. The news went from ok to upsetting. The wound on her back wasn't too bad, but the one around...
Hi all. I hate foxes with a passion and i need some advice on how to manage an injured chook after a fox attack as this is the first attack i've ever had in 3 years of having chooks :(
I am deeply upset yet extremely angry that a fox has killed 9 of my friendly and adorable chooks. They were my...
I understand where you're coming from Bobbie-j ;) If this happenend to one of my other chooks (i got 7 others and a rooster) i would find someone to put it to sleep as i don't have the guts to do the deed. They're more the farm bird type. When i separated Chicky from the group the first time...
Sounds like what i'm going through with my chook Chicky. Same symptoms & all. She's my favourite out of the flock so i wanted to save her if i could. I took her to the vet at the start of march and was told she has EYP. We treated her with baytril which did wonders and she did recover. She went...
It's a first for me also to hear about a hormone implant. Recently, she's had her belly drained and the medication has helped her out. She's walking and talking normally, eating and pooping fine. I just feel like i'm not ready to give up on her now that she's responding to treatment quite well.
Hello,
I'm a newby and I'm currently treating my now pet chook Chicky who has been diagnosed with egg pertonitis for the 2nd time in 2 months. She is currently on baytril (which saved her the first time) and now flusapex drops and the vet has suggested that a hormonal implant will be a...
I'm also happy to say my rooster Shinobie is such a good boy. He was from my first flock of chicks who were given to me by my uncle (along with a chook who raised them). Since he was 8 weeks old, he stood out as being the friendly one who would follow you for food so i picked him out of the 5...
